Dr. Kelly Moser
Congratulations to the recipient of the 2020 Post-Secondary Educator of Excellence, Dr. Kelly Moser, a professor at Mississippi State University. Dr. Moser was selected as this year’s recipient on the basis of her excellent teaching portfolio and letters of recommendation.
As a former high school Spanish teacher and coordinator of Mississippi State University’s world language education program, I consistently strive to improve my practice, collaborate with world language educators across the globe, and advocate for quality language programs for all learners. Currently as the co-coordinator of the basic language program at Mississippi State University and the trainer of graduate teaching assistants in the department, I work daily to affect the practice of those at the university and educators in the community. I am honored to be considered for such an esteemed award and to be recognized by wonderful Mississippi teachers who continue to make me proud to be from our state.
The Educator of Excellence Award for Post-Secondary Educators, formerly known as the Teacher of Excellence Award, recognizes educators at the community college, college, and university level who have demonstrated excellence in language teaching, active participation in SCOLT, and leadership and advocacy at the local, state, and/or regional or national level. The nominating documents for this award include a letter of nomination, a statement from nominee of acceptance of nomination (paragraph), a CV/Resume, and two letters of support.
Nominate a colleague for the 2020 Educator of Excellence Award! Deadline for applications is January 15, 2021.
