National Teaching Fellowships announced
Added on 07 Jul 2009
Fifty lecturers and learning support staff have been awarded National Teaching Fellowships from the Higher Education Academy.
The award winners were chosen from 203 nominations submitted by higher education institutions across England and Northern Ireland and will each receive an award of £10,000. The award may be used for Fellows’ professional development in teaching and learning or aspects of pedagogy.
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) is part of an overall Academy programme to raise the status of learning and teaching in higher education. It comprises two strands: Individual National Teaching Fellowship Awards, and Projects. It is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland (DELNI).
The individual strand of the scheme aims to raise the profile of learning and teaching, recognise and celebrate individuals who make an outstanding impact on the student learning experience, and provide a national focus for institutional teaching and learning excellence schemes.
The awards will be presented to Fellows at a celebration event in London on Wednesday 23 September 2009.
