Steinhardt Announces Annual Teacher Excellence Awards

The Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development recently presented two full-time and two adjunct faculty members with the school’s annual Teaching Excellence Award. The award, which includes a $1,000 gift, is given each year to distinguished faculty in the areas of teaching, advisement, and mentoring. Faculty nominations are solicited from students, and a selection committee chooses award recipients each spring semester.

      The 2008 Steinhardt Teaching Excellence Awards were presented to Pamela Fraser-Abder, associate professor of science education; Sharon L. Weinberg, professor of educational statistics and psychology; Desiree Hamburger, adjunct instructor, educational theatre; and Maria Hodermarska, adjunct instructor, drama therapy.
