The Waller Education Award was established by a contribution from retired ASA Executive Director Ray Waller and his wife Carolyn. This award honors an individual for innovation in the instruction of elementary statistics. Nominees should be early in their career (ten or fewer years of full-time teaching) with responsibility for teaching "the first course" in statistics in a two-year college, a four-year college, or a research university. Graduate teaching assistants may be nominated for the award.
The recipient will be selected according to the following criteria:
- Commitment to teaching elementary statistics
- Demonstrated innovation in teaching elementary statistics
- Letters of support from students, colleagues, and supervisors
Nominations should be submitted as a complete packet, consisting of:
- the nomination letter, no longer than four pages, addressing points in the selection criteria
- the nominee's curriculum vita
- a maximum of four supporting letters, each no longer than two pages
