CATE Award

CATE Award for Contributions to Research in Teacher Education

This award was established to recognize significant contributions to research in teacher education in Canada. The award is intended to honor a body of research conducted over the course of a person’s career, rather than a single study or publication. Nominees must be proposed by a member of CATE, but the nominee does not need to be a CATE member. The nomination must include two additional letters of recommendation, one of which must come from a referee affiliated with at least one other institution. However, it is not necessary for either referee to be a CATE member. The award criteria include : (1) Evidence of research excellence and meaningful contributions to teacher education research over time through publications, presentations, or other outcomes; and (2) Evidence of overall influence and impact on the field of teacher education research in Canada and internationally.

Eligibility

The nominator(s) must be a member of CATE.

Submission Requirements

The nominators, who must be members of CATE, must submit:

1. An initial letter of recommendation from a CATE member outlining the nominee’s contributions and providing (1) evidence of excellence and sustained contributions to research over time, and (2) evidence of influence and impact on the field of teacher education in Canada and abroad (maximum two pages).
2. The nominee’s curriculum vitae, including relevant publications, presentations, and other outcomes throughout the nominee’s career—not limited to the past five years—as well as evidence of influence and impact.
3. Two letters of support from individuals able to attest to the nominee’s outstanding contributions and impact. These individuals do not need to be members of CATE.

All nomination documents must be sent to the CATE Chair: Dr. Sheryl MacMath
