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:
- Innovations in introductory tax courses (the first or second
tax course in any undergraduate or graduate business curriculum)
- 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:
