{\large Nomination Form}\\
\end{center}


\noindent
A nomination for this award should consist only of the materials 
requested below, and should not include	any other materials such as 
curricula vitae or other items.  Please prepare all application 
materials on one side only of 8.5 x 11 inch paper, with a type size 
no smaller than 12 points (pica).\\

\noindent
A complete application should include the following:

\begin{itemize}

\item {\bf\large Nomination Form:}\ \  
The complete Nomination Form should be the first page of the
application.\\ 

\item {\bf\large Narrative:}\ \   
Please describe the nominee's extraordinary success in teaching by 
providing a narrative of the nominee's background, experience, 
teaching style, special contributions, other teaching awards, 
and any additional evidence of the nominee's unusual achievements 
in teaching.  Please limit this portion to no more than five 
double-spaced pages.\\ 


\item {\bf\large Additional Documentation:}\ \   
Please submit no more than three pages of evidence to document the 
nominee's extraordinary teaching success.  This documentation will 
vary greatly from institution to institution but may include summaries 
of peer or student evaluations, comments on teaching, possible 
increases in numbers of undergraduate or graduate degrees given in 
mathematics (with clear evidence of the nominee's substantial 
responsibility for them), possible student successes in mathematics 
competitions (with clear evidence of the nominee's substantial 
responsibility for them), etc.\\ 
Nominators should bear in mind that the National Selection Committee 
might view a nomination more positively if it is accompanied not just 
by carefully chosen testimonials from a few selected students and 
faculty, though they are, of course, welcome, but also by some 
unfiltered input that is more representative of the whole spectrum 
of opinion among students and faculty about the nominee.\\


\item {\bf\large Letters of Recommendation:}\ \   
Please include no more than five letters of recommendation of no more 
than one page each, as follows:
\begin{itemize}
 \item Two letters from the nominee's present or former students.
 \item Two letters from the nominee's colleagues 
	(one of whom could be the department chair).
 \item One additional letter from anyone qualified to comment on 
	the nominee's extraordinary teaching success.
\end{itemize}

\end{itemize}
