THS Teacher of the year

Since 1985 has the students at KTH given out the award “THS Teacher of the year” to a teacher at KTH in order to honor good pedagogy and to encourage pedagogical development. The winner receives a silver apple as a trophy and a certificate at the fall graduation ceremony in the city hall.

Carl-Mikael Zetterling – Winner 2022

THS Teacher of the year 2022 is Carl-Mikael Zetterling at the department of Electrical engineering, EECS. The following is the motivation: “Carl-Mikael Zetterling is a teacher that is constantly developing his teaching and courses. He makes sure that the education is motivating and relevant for the students by using innovative laboration and teaching methods. He shows great humbleness in the classroom and always puts the students in the center. It is important to constantly improve for Carl-Mikael and he takes every chance he gets to push his methods forward. For example, he used the pandemic to innovate and develop his teaching methods – lessons that have become permanent fixtures in his post-pandemic teaching. His inventive lab kits and pre recorded lectures are appreciated by his students and had an impact among his teaching colleagues. An excellent teacher doesn’t just focus on their own courses but also contributes to the pedagogical development of the whole university. Not only does Carl-Mikael support his colleagues – he is also a driving force of the pedagogical development of the whole of KTH. Even outside of KTH he takes responsibility for education, for example by developing a course that is directed to high school teachers to strengthen and inspire their teaching!”

Selection process

Each chapter can nominate a teacher in the beginning of the fall semester. A working group is recruited to interview and assess the candidates. From these interviews they select a winner!
