Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Awards 2015
Congratulations to colleagues who have been awarded Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Awards this year. The scheme recognises and rewards colleagues (academics, learning support staff, teaching 'teams' and postgraduates/postdocs who teach) who demonstrate excellence in teaching and/or learning support at York.
The panel, chaired by John Robinson, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Teaching, Learning and Information, was looking for three key qualities:
- Evidence of sustained excellence across a range of teaching/support activities and over a reasonable period of time;
- A creative approach to teaching and/or learning support, focused on student learning needs;
- Evidence that nominees make an impact on colleagues as well as students.
9 awards were made from a field of 26 applications, and will be presented at this summer's graduation ceremonies.
