Nominations open: Teaching Excellence Awards 2023

11 May 2023

Submissions invited for awards recognising a significant and sustained commitment to excellence in teaching and learning

TEA awards 2022

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 2023 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
  • Assessment and Feedback
  • Student voice

The Award

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 nominations are evaluated by a panel that includes representation from each Faculty as well as the Head of Student and Academic Services (or nominee) and Professor Judy Williams (Director of the Institute of Teaching and Learning, and AVP for Teaching, Learning and Students). Nominations may be Commended, Highly Commended, or recommended for a full Award.

How to nominate yourself, a colleague or team

All nominations must be made on the Teaching Excellence Case for Award proforma and submitted as a word doc via the online submission portal. Evidence should be included to support the case, 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 850 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 of Reach, Value and Impact, which map to those used for the national Advance HE Teaching Excellence Awards.

Complete nominations, including supporting statements/signatures, must be submitted to the Institute of Teaching and Learning via the online submission portal by 7pm BST on Wednesday 14 June 2023.
