The MIT School of Science annually celebrates faculty members and instructors who demonstrate excellence in teaching. Prior to 2025, teaching prizes were awarded in the categories of undergraduate education and in graduate education. In 2026, the prizes were restructured to highlight excellence in teaching for early- and mid-career faculty members (internally nominated via their tenure and/or promotion cases), as well as for overall excellence in teaching for tenured faculty and non-faculty instructors (with nomination letters solicited throughout the academic year). Additional questions about the award may be directed to Annie Lee.
