Call for Submissions
2004 ATA/Deloitte Teaching Innovation Award

The American Taxation Association in cooperation with Deloitte presents an annual Teaching Innovation Award at the annual ATA luncheon. The award recipient receives a plaque and a $5000 award.

Submissions will be accepted in the following two categories:

  1. Innovations in introductory tax courses (the first or second tax course in any undergraduate or graduate business curriculum)
  2. Innovations in advanced tax courses (either required or elective courses for which an introductory tax course is a prerequisite and which are offered in any undergraduate or graduate business curriculum)

The primary objective of the award is to encourage creativity and experimentation with new and unusual ideas. Submissions could include, but are not limited to, the following:

  •  A new framework or paradigm on which the organization of a course is  based.
  •  The novel use of a learning technique or methodology.
  •  The use of original cases or other course materials designed by the  instructor.
  •  An experiment in group learning or problem-solving.
  •  Integration of non-technical issues (ethics, communication skills, etc.) into  the tax curriculum.

The innovation must have been used in a tax course that the person submitting has taught or is currently teaching. For courses in which the subject matter is not primarily taxation, innovations that relate to tax modules or components are eligible if the tax portion represents at least one-third of the course content.

Award winners will make a presentation about their innovations at a meeting of the ATA and must agree to the dissemination of their award-winning innovations to the ATA membership.

Submissions must be postmarked on or before January 15, 2004. Please send submissions to:
