Bordere Nominated for 2025 CSU Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Award

Turner College associate professor of accounting Jasmine Bordere has been nominated by the Turner College's Awards & Scholarships Committee for the 2025 CSU Scholarship of Teaching & Learning Award. This award recognizes a faculty member's engagement in the systematic examination of issues about student learning and instructional conditions which promote the learning, building on previous scholarship. The criteria for selection include documented use of strategies for investigating and evaluating the impact of teaching practice on student learning, anchored in the research literature; engagement in scholarship that is public, peer reviewed and critiqued; the production of scholarly work which contributes new questions and knowledge about teaching and learning; the development of a well-articulated teaching philosophy that drives research questions; and documented dissemination of their scholarship results. Bordere's award portfolio includes a 2024 study in Education Sciences that uses student evaluation of teaching (SET) data for 947 faculty members affiliated with 90 U.S. colleges and universities to study the presence of a teaching quality rating premium for clinical faculty relative to traditional tenure-track faculty in the discipline of economics. Results from the study suggest that the clinical faculty SET premium ranges between 5.8% and 6.1%. Since joining the Turner College faculty, Bordere has developed an interest in servant leadership. One element of her portfolio is her 2020 publication in the International Journal of Servant-Leadership demonstrating how the principles of servant leadership are conveyed in the motion picture Lone Survivor. That study explores the links between the core features of servant leadership and the central elements of Pashtunwali, a centuries-old unwritten Pashtun moral code that commits its followers (practitioners) to protect and provide asylum to any guest seeking the Afghan community’s assistance. In doing so it demonstrates how the leadership principles of both managerial concepts were personified through the choices and actions of Mohammad Gulab, the Afghan village leader who in 2005 saved the life of U.S. Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell, the lone survivor of an ill-fated U.S. military mission in northeastern Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom. Bordere's interest in servant leadership and participation in SoTL research has prepared her to be a faculty mentor for the undergraduate servant leadership program at the William B. Turner Center for Servant Leadership and help students better understand how leadership, and especially servant leadership, is practiced in academia. Lastly, Bordere's award portfolio also includes (1) a 2018 publication in Internal Auditing that explains why the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) adopted a new lease accounting standard and how the new standard impacts financial statements, (2) a working paper that provides a case study to help prepare students for internships and careers in the audit profession by providing them with a realistic simulation of year-end substantive testing of accounts payable, (3) a working paper that ranks departments of accounting in the U.S. on the basis of teaching-focused accounting research, and (4) a book manuscript titled The Beauty Premium in Academe that synthesizes the academic research on the return to individual physical attractiveness and related attributes in higher education. Turner Business wishes Bordere the best of luck in April 2025, when the winner of the award will be named.
