Launch of National Teaching Fellowship Scheme 2012
- Date: 05-01-2012
Nominations are now open for the individual awards in the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme 2012.
Up to 55 awards of £10,000 are made each year in recognition of teaching excellence. The most prestigious awards for learning and teaching in UK higher education, they are designed to support professional development and to celebrate individuals who make an outstanding impact on the student learning experience
The NTFS also provides a national focus for institutional learning and teaching excellence schemes, and helps to raise the status of teaching in UK higher education - a key focus for the Higher Education Academy.
Professor Craig Mahoney, Chief Executive of the HEA, said: "Over the last 11 years the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme has played a special role in celebrating excellence in learning and teaching practice.
"The UK higher education landscape continues to change and brings new challenges to everyone involved in learning and teaching. The innovation shown by our National Teaching Fellows over the years demonstrates that we are well placed not only to meet these challenges but to push the boundaries of excellence in learning and teaching. The commitment and expertise of our National Teaching Fellows remains an inspiration to teachers and students alike."
The deadline for submissions is 21 March 2012, after which the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (Individual) Advisory Panel will oversee the selection of successful applicants.
