EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING

---

EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING award was founded in 1995 by Prof. Ray E. and Ruth A. Robinson from the USA.

The award is an act of recognition for academic teachers of The Krzysztof Penderecki Music Academy in Kraków for outstanding pedagogical and artistic achievements as well as involvement in the School’s affairs. It is awarded for lifetime achievement, with particular emphasis on the activity in the academic year when it is granted.

“…Our aim in founding the Excellence in Teaching award is to encourage the teachers to persevere in search of perfection in every phase of their life, in the sphere of teaching, performing as well as in the sphere of active participation in the life of the Academy. We wish to honour, distinguish and award those who in the opinion of their colleagues in a measurable way prove their perfection…”
