Madison, Wis. – Dr. Kenneth Jewell has won the Mathematical Association of America 2011 Wisconsin Section Distinguished Teaching Award.
This award is presented annually to an outstanding mathematics teacher at a public or private college or university in the state of Wisconsin. As a recipient of the section award, Dr. Jewell is now a nominee for the national Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. That award “honors college or university teachers who have been widely recognized as extraordinarily successful and whose teaching effectiveness has been shown to have had influence beyond their own institutions.”
In a nomination letter, a colleague at a University of Wisconsin System institution wrote, “A gifted expositor of ideas, Dr. Jewell’s successes have not been limited to the mathematics classroom. He connects his students to the world beyond the university walls by engaging them in the classroom, by using relevant examples, and by promoting a connected curriculum.”
A banquet and award presentation will be held the evening of Friday, April 29, 2011 on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Stout.
