Inaugural Provost's Teaching Awards winners
11 May 2007
The outstanding contribution of 11 members of staff to excellence and innovation in teaching at 果冻影院 has been recognised with the announcement of the winners of the inaugural Provost's Teaching Awards.
The winners are: Dr Helen Beer (果冻影院 Hebrew & Jewish Studies), Claire Colomb (果冻影院 Bartlett School of Planning), Dr Rob Miller (果冻影院 School of Library, Information & Archive Studies), Dr Ray Noble (果冻影院 Obstetrics & Gynaecology and 果冻影院 Physiology), Professor Thilo Rehren (果冻影院 Archaeology), Dr Andrea Sella (果冻影院 Chemistry), Dr Caroline Selai (果冻影院 Institute of Neurology) and Dr Jennifer Van Heerde (果冻影院 Political Science).
A joint award was also made to Charmian Dawson, Professor Elizabeth Shephard and Dr Andrea Townsend Nicholson for their collective work in 果冻影院 Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.
The awards celebrate excellence in teaching and serve to showcase the pedagogic expertise and leadership of our staff. They also demonstrate 果冻影院's commitment to continuous innovation in the teaching it offers its students.
A call for nominations from heads of departments and deans produced a strong field of applications: testament to the commitment and strengths of those nominated, as well as clear evidence of the quality of teaching at 果冻影院.
Submissions were judged on the basis of the nominee's:
- contribution to curriculum innovation and development
- contribution to the wider student experience, such as the skills or internationalisation agendas
- contribution to 果冻影院's strategic commitment to educate for 'global citizenship', social responsibility, leadership
- engagement in the development of interdisciplinary programmes
- innovation in support for learning
- development of the use of new technologies in teaching and learning.
Professor Michael Worton, Vice-Provost (Academic & International) and the chair of the selection panel, said: "The panel was enormously impressed by the quality of all the nominations for the inaugural Provost's Teaching Awards. The range of teaching activities involves the often highly original use of both traditional methods and new technologies, and the commitment to inspire and encourage students to achieve ever more in their learning is clear evidence of why 果冻影院 is renowned for the quality of its teaching. All the nominees and, of course, especially the award winners deserve our warmest congratulations. I look forward already to reading next year's nominations."
The awards panel comprised: Professor Worton; Professor Vince Emery, 果冻影院 Pro-Provost for South Asia and the Middle East; Professor Jane Dacre (果冻影院 Academic Centre for Medical Education); Bob Allan, Senior Tutor; Dr David Green (果冻影院 Psychology); and Brigitte Picot, Director of the 果冻影院 Centre for the Advancement of Learning & Teaching. Winners will be formally recognised at an awards ceremony in July 2007.
