Outstanding Educator Award 2023 - UChicago

October 2023

"Each year, newly admitted students have the opportunity to select educators who go beyond everyday teaching and leave an impression that is carried over a lifetime. An Outstanding Educator thinks carefully about their instruction, shares an infectious love for learning, and cares for their students both inside and outside of the classroom."

"The University of Chicago is honored to recognize your excellence as an educator who makes a positive impact every day."

"Contributions to the academic and personal development of young people are most deserving of recognition. For over thirty years, the University of Chicago has asked incoming students to recommend their outstanding educators - individuals who challenged them intellectually for the first time, opened new vistas of discovery, or channeled their private interests into paths for intellectual growth."

"True learning is a collaborative experience that depends as much on the dedication of the teachers as it does on the motivation of the student, and your dedication to your profession is evident. Thank you for your commitment to your students and to the field of education."

"Nothing compares to hearing gratitude straight from the source. A note from your student is below:"

'Hey Mr.M! Despite only having you as my teacher for 2 years, I have learned a lot from you! Thank you for assisting me all this time, from the Biology Olympiad to my Extended Essay. It has been an honour and I am deeply grateful for your support.'
