Award Details
Purpose
To establish high standards of performance for student affiliates and to honor those affiliates which meet these standards. Qualifications for the award represent standards of excellence to which all student affiliates should aspire.
Eligibility
Each NCTE Student Affiliate may achieve this level of excellence annually. Any NCTE Student Affiliate in good standing is eligible to participate. Only affiliate activities from May 1 of the previous year through the program deadline on May 1 of the current year are eligible.
Frequency/Number of Awards
There is no limit to the number of awards. Awards will be given to as many student affiliates as qualify, and student affiliates may win the award each year, if qualified. Awards will be presented at the Affiliate Roundtable Breakfast during the NCTE Annual Convention. NOTE: Student affiliates are encouraged to apply for this award each year. All NCTE Student Affiliates are eligible to receive the award each year, even if they received it the previous year.
Award Specifics
The award will be a certificate presented to each winning student affiliate and 20 name badge stickers for winning affiliate members to wear at the NCTE Annual Convention (students pay a reduced convention registration rate) and/or affiliate meetings. Extra name badge stickers are available for a minimal cost from the NCTE Affiliate Office.
Award Criteria
NCTE Student Affiliates nominate themselves by completing the submission form and providing descriptions of programs, copies of publications, and other appropriate documentation to the participating Standing Committee on Affiliates (SCOA) representative.
Administration
The NCTE Standing Committee on Affiliates will administer the award. The NCTE Standing Committee on Affiliates will appoint a member to handle the judging and the awards specifics. The committee will also provide annual feedback on ways to improve the program so that it runs smoothly. The NCTE Affiliate Office will handle the initial publicity and notification to affiliates of the program.
Judging
A committee chaired by a member of the NCTE Standing Committee on Affiliates will read each affiliate’s submission form and supporting materials. The committee will choose an unlimited number of deserving affiliates to receive the award.
Deadline
The NCTE Student Affiliate Excellence Award submission form and supporting materials must reach the participating SCOA representative (Renee Rude, renee.rude@cgc.edu) no later than June 15 in the year of the award. The award-winning student affiliate(s) will be notified in late summer so that they may have a representative present to receive the award at the Affiliate Roundtable Breakfast during the NCTE Annual Convention. This representative is expected to purchase a breakfast ticket with convention preregistration. (Students pay a reduced convention registration rate.)
NCTE Student Affiliates are to complete all sections of the submission form in order to apply to receive the NCTE Student Affiliate Excellence Award.
