Deadline approaching: Teaching Excellence Awards 2022 nominations
27 Apr 2022
Call for nominations for the annual awards recognising a significant and sustained commitment to excellence in teaching and learning
Do you or your team have a track record of excellence in delivering or supporting teaching and learning? Do you know someone whose ongoing excellent practice deserves more recognition?
We are now inviting nominations for the 2022 Teaching Excellence Awards. The Awards focus on sustained achievement in relation to teaching, learning and the student experience over recent years. Nominations should demonstrate excellence in support of one or more of the following strategic themes for teaching and learning:
- Educational Leadership
- Inclusive Education
- Flexible Learning and Digital Delivery
- Students’ sense of belonging
The Awards
In addition to being awarded with a trophy at a formal awards ceremony, Teaching Excellence Award winners will be offered personal development opportunities and invited to play a role in teaching and learning development at University level. The awards panel, which is chaired by Professor Judy Williams, Director of the Institute of Teaching and Learning / Associate Vice-President for Teaching, Learning and Students, includes representation from each Faculty. The panel hopes to make up to 15 awards.
How to nominate yourself, a colleague or team
All nominations must be submitted on the Teaching Excellence Award nomination proforma. Evidence should be included to support claims, and all submissions should consider the extent to which students are engaged in a form of partnership.
Within the proforma, colleagues are encouraged to make their case using the format which best allows them to highlight the reach, value and impact of the nominee’s work. Options are a 750 word written submission or a five minute pre-recorded presentation (this may be narrated slides, a video or other approach). Additional formats may also be approved, in advance, by agreement with the Institute of Teaching and Learning.
Each submission will be considered against criteria that address reach, value and impact, which map to those used for the Advance HE’s National Teaching Excellence Awards.
Complete nominations, including supporting statements/signatures, must be submitted to teaching.learning@manchester.ac.uk by 7pm BST on Wednesday, 25 May 2022.
