awards for clinical instructors?

Published

I have a clinical instructor who is very fair and has made this clinical an awesome learning experience. Are there any awards that I can nominate her for? Sort of like the daisy award version for clinical instructors?

Something that would go a long way is a nice note to the Dean. That goes in her employee record and may qualify her for a raise, etc.

If you write the nice note to the dean, make sure the instructor gets a copy too. Sometimes administrators don't share those things with those who got them...

Aside from what previous posters have said, be sure to praise her in the end of semester teacher/course evaluations. The instructors/administration read those and it will make her feel good to see that you enjoyed her. Also, in clinical groups that I've been in in the past, we've always baked our instructor things like cookies/pie/cupcakes and gotten a 'thank you' card at the end of the semester.

My last semester of teaching was this past semester. My students gave me flowers, candy, a party, and a stuffed minion wearing a lab coat. I was overwhelmed. That was surely above and beyond anything that's ever happened to me before! I was very, very touched...
