Session Outline
NTF (for individuals) are open to colleagues in any role in the institution who have made a significant contribution to student learning and outcomes and can demonstrate its impact above and beyond their immediate context. As well as staff who are directly responsible for the design and delivery of higher education learning and teaching, these awards are open to staff supporting or leading the development of higher education learning and teaching (including through staff development) and supporting wider aspects of the higher education student experience (e.g. through learning technology, information literacy, or learning development).
The awards run annually and the university is allowed to put forward up to three nominations for NTFs for consideration by the external NTF/CATE awards panel. Nominees are supported through mentoring and writing workshops to submit applications in March.
This webinar will explore the criteria for NTFs a so that colleagues can consider submitting a proposal of interest to become a nominee for future rounds of the awards. The webinar will also provide information on how colleagues should gather evidence of ‘impact’, ‘value’ and ‘reach’ against the criteria.
