SHMS Finalist for Higher Education Academy's Global Teaching Excellence Award!

The award, launched by the HEA in February, recognises outstanding institution-wide approaches to teaching. GTEA is open to all universities and higher education providers worldwide.

Although SHMS did not receive the top award, the learnings and experience that were a part of this Award nomination are absolutely worth celebrating!

“

The application process for the HEA Global Teaching Excellence Award has challenged us to clarify our vision, evaluate our teaching strategy and ensure we have a robust scorecard in place that measures the strategy implementation… [GTEA]has encouraged our staff and faculty and bolstered their confidence. They have invested in innovation in teaching, learning, and assessing by leaving their comfort zones...I would encourage any higher education institution to consider applying for this award. By re-evaluating one’s own pillars of excellence, we were challenged to define or confirm our commitment to the domains of excellence in leadership of teaching and learning, teaching and pedagogical strategy, and student support and achievement.
