Hey there, time traveller!

Assiniboine Community College business instructor Richard Little is a regional recipient of a 2022 Teaching Excellence Award from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.
To accept this award in person, Little has been invited to attend ACBSP’s upcoming conference, which is taking place throughout June 17-20 in Washington, D.C.
During the official awards ceremony, Little will also receive a crystal medallion and a $500 cheque.
ACBSP’s membership is organized into 11 geographic regions across the globe, with Little representing Canada (region 11) at this year’s conference.
In a Friday news release from ACC, School of Business chairperson Geoff Milne said Little is more than worthy of this award based on how he has conducted his classroom throughout his teaching career.
“He is a firm believer in experiential learning and has incorporated that philosophy in all his classes,” Milne said. “Students aren’t sitting around listening to him talk, they’re up moving around, working in groups, taking part in engaging activities, and ultimately having fun.”
To Little, excellence is a process requiring as much failure as it does success, while also making sure that his students have all the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom.
“When students use what they’ve learned to help make some sense out of their complex lives, or tell you how much they enjoyed your course, that’s teaching excellence,” he said. “Excellence in teaching is all those things and more, but it’s not a destination, it’s a process.”
Since Little is now a regional recipient of a ACBSP Teaching Excellence Award, he also qualifies for the organization’s International Teaching Excellence Award.
The ACBSP Associate Degree Commission first established the International Teaching Excellence Award in 1995 to recognize outstanding classroom teachers.
