Individuals who would like their work to be considered for the Howard Teall Award may submit a description of their education initiative using the procedure outlined below.

Submitters (or at least one person in a group of submitters) must be CAAA members.

Submit your proposal via the button below as a Microsoft Word attachment, maximum 4 pages. Your description should:   

• identify the course in which the activity was experienced   
• explain why you developed this learning activity   
• state the learning outcomes pursued   
• describe the instructional strategies used   
• expose the evaluation criteria and grading methods applied (if any)   
• briefly discuss the results achieved.   

To preserve anonymity, submit the cover page (with name and contact information) and the remainder of the proposal separately.

Winners are expected to attend the CAAA Annual Conference to present a workshop on their activity, and the Awards Luncheon on the Friday of the conference.

The Award seeks to recognize educators who: motivate students with original learning activities, seek and employ new ways to encourage students to pursue future learning opportunities, and have a unique and innovative approach to accounting education.

You must be a member in good standing of the CAAA to submit.

The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2023.

Prizes will be awarded only if submissions of deserving quality (in either French or English) are received.

The CAAA Education Committee will select winners in a blind review process.
