National Teaching Fellows 2012 Helen Bilton Senior Lecturer in Education and Director of the PGCE Primary Programme University of Reading Helen Bilton started her career qualifying as a teacher, becoming a deputy head before moving into higher education. Her interest in the teaching and learning environment has always been at the forefront of her teaching and research and this expertise has been transferred from working with young children to working with adults. Helen has extensive experience in teaching the Early Years Foundation Stage, primary education, school experience studies and professional studies. She firmly believes in being a role model and demonstrating best practice for students to emulate in the classroom. Her passion for student development and commitment to supporting each individual to achieve their potential are the attributes for which she is most renowned among her students and colleagues. Helen’s first lecture when training to be a teacher was on the nursery school garden. She was immediately inspired by the unique approach to education which this specialism cultivates and subsequently the outdoor learning environment became her love and research area. Helen is the leading educational specialist in this area and has written extensively on the issue, including five books (the earliest being the first complete text on the subject since 1936) and contributions to many other publications. Her most recent publication, Outdoor Learning in the Early Years, is a complete compendium for all who work with young children. She is an invited speaker to conferences across the UK and acts as an adviser for schools and local authorities. Helen has played an instrumental role in many learning and teaching initiatives at Reading, including the innovative re-design of the Foundation Subjects module to involve a local educational charity, and the establishment of self-help groups for students with additional needs. Perhaps most notably, in 2009 Helen’s work with colleagues in the special educational needs sector led the way in achieving school placements for trainee teachers in special educational needs (SEN) schools. At institutional level, Helen received the School Award for Outstanding Contributions to Teaching and Learning in 2010 and became an Early Career Teaching Fellow in 2011. 6
Professor Stuart Brand Director of Learning Experience Birmingham City University Professor Stuart Brand firmly believes that staff-student partnership in academic processes is crucial to the development of a real learning community. He drives a University-wide focus on student academic engagement which has brought national and international recognition. He drew upon experience of innovation in the University’s Faculty of Health, where he began his teaching career as a lecturer in Applied Human Physiology some 25 years ago. He developed an initiative - linked teaching - which sought to address a theory-practice gap by employing recent graduates to work with academics developing students’ skills of application. Later he generated a faculty-wide culture of innovation and modernisation in learning and teaching through a focused task group, innovation funding and staff development workshops. Stuart also led the University’s Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL). This focused initially on partnership work with National Health Service employers but grew to encompass student engagement as its primary aim. The CETL also developed a health faculty simulation centre which is transforming the student experience. He moved to a centrally-located university post in 2007 and this allowed wider application of the learning from his faculty based work, building on partnerships with students, staff, employers and other universities. His work on student engagement has, for example, been greatly stimulated by collaborations with Northwest Missouri State University and Copenhagen Business School. Stuart led a strategic three-year initiative for the Redesign of Learning Experience (RoLEx) across the university and through this actively promoted student engagement whilst seeking better working lives for staff. He focuses on improving the student learning experience through more effective partnership with Birmingham City Students’ Union. This partnership, recognised with a Times Higher Education Award in 2010, led to the development of the nationally recognised Student Academic Partners scheme through which students are employed to work in partnership with staff on enhancement projects. This is underpinning culture change at Birmingham City, stimulating new approaches to curriculum design and delivery and generating a wide range of student employment activity on campus. 7
