Session summary

This is a two-way dialogue on creating a culture that values and rewards all aspects of teaching and learning. During the session, we’ll first present the participants’ answers to these two following questions:

  1. How do you feel your everyday teaching related work is recognised by your department and/or university?
  2. What do you think you could do to recognise a colleague’s efforts in teaching?

This will be followed by a dialogue with Heads of Departments on how they celebrate and recognise teaching within their departments and how teaching recognition has changed and will change after Covid-19. We hope this session will enable participants to identify their own and their peers “everyday excellence” in teaching, beyond prizes and recognition schemes.

Sessions aims

  • To emphasise and disseminate good practice and ideas in recognising and valuing teaching.
  • To enable participants to identify their own and their peers “everyday excellence” in teaching, beyond prizes and recognition schemes.
  • To create a two-way dialogue on recognition of everyday teaching and learning activities.
