Application for 2026 CEETL Exemplary Teaching Award
Applications are invited from faculty members (lecturer or T/TT faculty) who have made a difference in the lives of SF State undergraduate or graduate students through exemplary teaching practices. We are interested to learn how faculty connect students to their communities, make their courses relevant for students and prepare them for the real world. How do you foster communities of care in the classroom and beyond? How do you partner with students to create social connections, community and belonging in the classroom?
Applications should include the following:
1. Artifact of teaching practice (e.g., classroom activity, assignment, projects, research or creative activity)
2. Cover letter explaining the purpose and impact of the teaching practice in the context of the course taught
3. Reference letter (e.g., from a colleague, former student or community partner; optional)
Teaching practice should reflect CEETL's values and mission. Please submit to ceetl@sfsu.edu with Application for 2026 Exemplary Teaching Award in the subject line by April 1, 2026.
CEETL welcomes persons with disabilities and will provide reasonable accommodations upon request. If you would like reasonable accommodations for this event, please contact CEETL staff Cynthia Chu at cchu4@sfsu.edu as soon as possible so your request may be reviewed.
