National Teaching Fellows 2012 Dr Christine Dearnley Associate Dean, Learning and Teaching, School of Health Studies University of Bradford Dr Christine Dearnley is passionate about widening participation and improving the student experience and outcomes. Her practice is guided by a strong philosophy of learning, which encompasses student autonomy and empowerment within a supported framework and is underpinned by the sound evidence base and model of student development that her research has generated. She works with a diverse student body and believes that her success often lies in both pastoral and academic support. Student comments such as ‘You believed in me and I will always be grateful’ support this view. Chris has an extensive portfolio of research and development in learning, teaching and assessment, and has inspired institutional change in several areas. Under her leadership the School of Health Studies transformed its marking and feedback processes, incorporating student self-assessment in all assessments, with clear dividends in student performance and satisfaction. This work is now providing role models and exemplars for a wide range of subject areas, both in Bradford and nationally. Chris led the Mobile Enabled Disabled Students project (MEDS), which identified the benefits and challenges that mobile technologies present to disabled students. A key element of MEDS was the collaborative working and learning together among the project team. A disability adviser said: “Working with Chris has been a highly motivating experience. It is refreshing to work with an educator so in tune with and willing to incorporate the social model of disability within their teaching and learning practice. Her mentorship and research advice has been invaluable for my own teaching and learning development.” Further work examined how disabled students were prepared for practice placement; outputs include new institution-wide processes and documentation for supporting disabled students in preparation for practice/work-based learning. 18 Chris led an evaluation of peer review within the University and developed an institution-wide process for supported peer review of teaching. She has also led innovative curriculum developments, incorporating both technology and work-based learning to increase student engagement and directly improve the student experience and outcomes. She has a sustained publication record disseminating outcomes of her enquiries and innovations in learning, teaching and assessment.
Dr Paul Farrand Senior Lecturer in Psychology University of Exeter Dr Paul Farrand works within Clinical Education Development and Research (CEDAR), specialising in clinical education and training in evidence-based psychological interventions. Passionate about teaching and learning with a commitment to ensuring the highest standards, Paul seeks to maximise the student experience while guaranteeing the end users of the training - patients seeking treatment for mental health problems - receive the best evidence-based psychological treatments possible. To achieve this he is not only involved in the development and delivery across a range of Clinical Psychology training programmes, but has operated at a national level with the Department of Health education, training and accreditation committees and chairs related committees within the British Psychological Society (BPS) and British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies. Within the University of Exeter, Paul has been central to developments regarding the expansion of the clinical training portfolio. Working closely with colleagues this has resulted in a ‘clinical training escalator’ offering programmes from degree to doctoral level interspersed with periods of clinical practice. He is committed to developing high quality innovative programmes, combining innovations in pedagogic practice alongside new technologies to maximise resources while improving access to training among practicing health and medical professionals. His most recent development has been the BSc Applied Psychology (Clinical). To enhance employability, this programme combines academic rigour of the study of psychology with the development of clinical competencies integral to the mental health workforce. It is the first of its kind nationally to be dually accredited, leading to Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership of the BPS, and for the Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner training component. Paul’s commitment to education and teaching runs alongside his research activity where, within the Mood Disorders Centre, he holds research grants funded by leading bodies such as the Medical Research Council. Whilst the research focus is upon developing and evaluating low intensity cognitive behavioural interventions for depression and co-existing medical conditions, even here Paul is committed to ensuring training models to deliver the interventions are themselves evidence-based, guaranteeing the workforce delivering them are adequately equipped. 19
