MATC Matters

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning is honored to announce the 2006-07 MATC National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development Teaching Excellence Award winners Anne Schacherl (BAAD - Para-Legal) and Holly Walter Kerby (Arts& Sciences – Chemistry/Physics).  Nominated by CETL staff for their leadership on Academic Integrity policies, as well as the popular Blackboard plug-in anti-plagiarism software, “Turn-It-In�, Anne and Holly have collaborated to develop and share high quality learning experiences for faculty and staff throughout the college.
 

CETL sponsors this annual awards program to honor excellence in teaching and service to faculty development at Madison Area Technical College.  Each year two distinguished faculty members will be honored with this award which includes attendance at the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development Conference in Austin, Texas.

Since its inception in 1978, the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development (NISOD) has emphasized the importance of teaching and leadership excellence in institutions of higher education. NISOD has worked to serve, engage, and inspire teachers and leaders through our conferences, publications, web services, partnerships, programs, and more. In 1989, in connection with a University of Texas national study of teaching excellence, NISOD hosted its first ceremony, held in conjunction with our annual International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence, honoring and naming the individuals featured in this study as recipients of the NISOD Excellence Award. The Excellence Awards tradition allows us the distinct privilege of honoring so many of the world’s best in higher education.
Please share our congratulations with our colleagues, Anne and Holly.
