Harry Lang, of Honeoye Falls, professor in NTID’s Department of Research and Teacher Education, has received a $2,500 Trustees Faculty Scholarship Award from RIT. (NTID is one of RIT’s eight colleges.)
The new award recognizes faculty members who have established outstanding track records of academic scholarship for at least three years in one or more of the following areas: teaching/pedagogy, application, integration, or discovery.
“Professor Lang’s work in science teaching and learning theory has inspired a generation of teachers-in-training, educational researchers in the field of deafness, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics educators working with students with disabilities,” said RIT Provost Stanley McKenzie.
An NTID faculty member since 1970, Dr. Lang received RIT’s Eisenhart Award for Outstanding Teaching in 1983. He has taught physics and mathematics, has overseen a teaching effectiveness program, and conducted teaching and learning research. He has prepared new teachers in NTID’s Master of Science in Secondary Education program, written six books, and has two books in review for publication and three manuscripts in progress. He and his wife Bonnie Meath-Lang are the authors of the biographical dictionary, Deaf Persons in the Arts and Sciences, an essential reference for anyone researching the contributions of deaf people to these fields. He’s been busy making some major contributions himself.
