Introduction
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme is run by Advance HE to raise the profile of teaching and learning, and celebrate individuals who make an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession. It also provides a national focus for institutional teaching and learning schemes.
National Teaching Fellowship is widely recognised in higher education within the UK as well as internationally as a mark of quality. Success is not relative to the career stage of the applicant but is entirely dependent on demonstrating excellence in enhancing teaching and learning at institutional level, within the HE sector more broadly and further afield. Some benefits of being awarded NTF are support for individuals’ professional development in teaching and learning and help to open doors to new opportunities. As of August 2023, 19 colleagues from the University of Reading have gained National Teaching Fellowships.
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme is open to both academic and professional service colleagues across the University, and our own NTFs include individuals from a wide breadth of disciplines and roles. This mix of experience is a real strength of the Teaching Fellows Community of Practice, which meets every term to discuss emerging teaching and learning issues. Please see the list below for further information on our NTFs and their areas of expertise and achievement.
