The Long Foundation Teacher of the Year Award is given to outstanding instructors nominated by students each year, with one award given by the P1 cohort and one by the P2 cohort. Students nominate faculty members based on excellence in teaching, which is defined as subject mastery; the ability to organize materials and present them with force, logic, spirit, and enthusiasm which vitalizes the student’s learning; and the ability to arouse curiosity in beginning students and to stimulate advanced students to creative work.
