(L-R) Professor Matthew Almond, Dr Richard Mitchell, Dr Anne Crook and Professor Gavin Brooks
'We are very fortunate as an institution to have so many talented and dedicated colleagues who are eligible to be nominated for this prestigious scheme.'
Congratulations to Dr Anne Crook (Centre for the Development of Teaching and Learning), Dr Richard Mitchell (Systems Engineering) and Professor Matthew Almond (Chemistry), who have been chosen to represent the University as nominees in this year's National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS).
Run by the Higher Education Academy (HEA), the NTFS aims to raise the profile of learning and teaching, recognise and celebrate individuals who make an outstanding impact on the student learning experience and provide a national focus for institutional teaching and learning practices.
Each year, up to 55 awards of £10,000 are made to recognise individual excellence, their intention being to support the Fellows' professional development in teaching and learning pedagogy.
Reading's nominees were chosen by the University's NTFS Selection Panel on the basis of their outstanding contribution to teaching and learning and ongoing commitment to developing and sharing best practice, both for internal and external audiences.
Colleagues were invited to draft an ‘expression of interest' for the NTFS, which was then reviewed by a panel, chaired by Professor Gavin Brooks. Colleagues who expressed an interest in this scheme, but who were not selected as this year's NTFS nominees, will be offered tailored, teaching and learning developmental support from Centre for the Development of Teaching and Learning.
Professor Gavin Brooks, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Teaching and Learning said: "The University is delighted to nominate Anne, Richard and Matthew for the 2013 National Teaching Fellowship Scheme Awards. We are very fortunate as an institution to have so many talented and dedicated colleagues who are eligible to be nominated for this prestigious scheme.
"Last year we won two of the 55 national awards that were available, which is an outstanding achievement. These awards recognise the importance that we place on quality teaching at the University, and that we are fully committed to supporting our staff in the development of their academic careers."
The winners of the 2013 NTFS will be decided by 13 June 2013, and results published by the HEA on 27 June 2013. For further information about the scheme visit the HEA website.
