Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Awards 2018
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 postgraduate/postdoctoral students 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 Students, 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. This need not necessarily involve technological wizardry or cutting-edge experimentation;
- That they go above and beyond the standard remit of their teaching or learning support role, making an impact on colleagues as well as students.
