Donald Schön Award for Excellence in Learning from PracticeThe award is given out in memory of Donald Schon and in honor of his work on the reflective nature of creative planning practice. The award recognizes a paper written for a graduate course in planning, a master's thesis, or a research report which shows excellence in learning from practice and in the analysis of that learning. Submissions may be student work done in pursuit of a planning master's or doctoral degree in planning at any ACSP-member school. The submission should be that of an individual student; group projects are not eligible. The award carries a cash grant of $1000. The winning submission for 2008 will be announced in the fall and the author has the option of presenting her/his work at the 2009 annual ACSP Conference. The Committee will accept for review one paper, thesis or report from an ACSP member school. It is expected that the submission will be selected through a participatory process involving faculty and students. Submissions should include one copy of the document and a letter of recommendation from the program or department head indicating why the submission was selected: i.e. how it contributes to reflection on planning practice and learning from that reflection. The award committee will evaluate submitted work according to its contribution to our understanding of reflective practice, to the teaching or to the diffusion of such practice in the profession and in the community. The award will be announced in Fall, 2008. These materials should be sent before July 1, 2008 to: Langley Keyes, Chair |
