The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) is developing a process to recognize exemplary general microbiology courses in various institutions. This initiative highlights courses that align with the 2024 ASM Curriculum Guidelines and demonstrate student centered active learning, varied engagement strategies, and multiple forms of assessment. We have draft rubrics and an initial review workflow and seeks input from microbiology educators to refine and strengthen the endorsement process. Beginning in the spring, course applications will be evaluated across four categories: • Course Architecture — alignment with ASM curriculum guidelines and backwards design principles • Instructional Practices —student-centered, active learning, accessibility, and inclusive teaching strategies • Course Infrastructure — institutional support, resources, and sustainability • Reflective Essay — documentation of intentional course design and plans for continuous improvement We invite participants to review the proposed criteria, share perspectives on feasibility and impact, and help shape a process that elevates exemplary courses.
