Welcome from Professor Craig Mahoney Chief Executive, The Higher Education Academy Welcome to the 2012 awards of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme and to the family of colleagues who make up the Association of National Teaching Fellows. May I be the first to offer my warmest congratulations to this year’s Fellows on your great achievement. Good teaching is at the heart of a positive student experience, and the HEA is here to support the higher education community in delivering world class learning and teaching to students. As you can see from the work of the individuals profiled in this booklet, there is much to celebrate and admire in UK higher education teaching. Students deserve to be taught and supported in their learning by professionals of the calibre of National Teaching Fellows: one way to ensure that high standards for teaching are met is through the use of the HEA’s UK Professional Standards Framework, which institutions can apply to their professional development programmes, and against which individuals can have their individual experience evaluated. During the last academic year we launched the revised framework and released a report of the findings of our sector review of the framework undertaken to ensure it is even more effective. Without the unstinting support and expertise of the Advisory Panel and the cadre of reviewers across the sector who support the process, the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme would not be the success that it is. I would like to personally thank everyone who has been involved in this year’s process. Finally, I would also like to thank Professor Caroline Gipps, Chair of the NTFS Advisory Panel. The experience, dedication and passion for teaching that she brings to the panel is greatly respected. I hope you enjoy your evening, and I look forward to meeting you. Welcome from Professor Caroline Gipps Chair, NTFS Advisory Panel As the Chair of the National Advisory Panel for the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2012 awards. National Teaching Fellows lead the way in promoting innovative learning and teaching practices which benefit thousands of students every year and I am delighted that you have been able to join us here for this evening’s celebrations. Across the 55 awards to be made tonight we have some great examples of innovation in disciplines ranging from neuroscience, veterinary education and psychology to photographic art, music and environment and sustainability education. I congratulate all of this year’s new Fellows on their achievements. This is my second year as Chair of the National Advisory Panel and I continue to be inspired by all our National Teaching Fellows. I have enjoyed being involved in this important initiative to recognise and reward excellence in teaching in higher education and look forward to next year. 2
Background The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) is designed to recognise and reward excellence in teaching and learning and thus contribute to raising the status of learning and teaching. The scheme is run by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland (DELNI) and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW). The scheme was initially launched in 2000. Since then it has grown and evolved. The scheme is open to all funded higher education institutions in England, Northern Ireland and Wales, and further education colleges with 100 or more FTE funded higher education students. In the current year the HEA is making 55 awards of £10,000 to recognise individual excellence in teaching and learning. The award is to support the National Teaching Fellow’s professional development in learning and teaching. Nominations must demonstrate evidence of: enhancing and transforming the student learning experience both within and beyond the nominees’ own immediate institutional context; supporting colleagues in their teaching and learning work; and developing their own excellence in teaching. Each nomination is assessed by two independent peer reviewers and moderated by the National Advisory Panel which recommends the list of new National Teaching Fellows to the HEA Executive. Advisory Panel The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme Advisory Panel oversees criteria, assessment and selection. Professor Caroline Gipps, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wolverhampton, was chair of the Panel in 2012. The panel members for the 2012 were: Professor Caroline Gipps Professor Richard Barnett Alex Bols Judith Foreman Professor John Fothergill Professor David Green Jacqui Hare Veronica Lewis Professor Stephen May Professor Don Nutbeam Professor Neil Sammells Association of National Teaching Fellows The Association of National Teaching Fellows (ANTF) was established by the HEA and a group of National Teaching Fellows in 2005. All National Teaching Fellows are automatically members of the Association. The Association aims to offer support and encouragement, for example through a collective voice, for developing excellence in all aspects of teaching and learning across the sector. The ANTF committee plays a key role in the planning and delivery of a range of NTF events and activities, including the NTFS symposium. National Teaching Fellows are able to participate in a variety of ways, including special interest groups, and national and international conferences on teaching and learning and scholarly publications. The ANTF and the HEA work in partnership to encourage National Teaching Fellows to contribute to debates about teaching and learning practice and policy at disciplinary, institutional, national and international levels. The current chair of the ANTF is Professor Lesley-Jane Eales-Reynolds, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education), Kingston University, who will be standing down this academic year.
