Nominations are now open!
Teaching Excellence Awards (TEAs) are Strathclyde's student-led teaching awards that are hosted by the Vice President Education, to recognise the best of Strathclyde's teaching and university staff. Being student-led means it is solely students who nominate, shortlist and pick the winners. Union staff oversee the process to make sure everything runs smoothly and to ensure fairness, but they aren't involved in the decision making.
You can submit your nominations before they close at 11:59pm on March 31st.
This award allows you to nominate an outstanding teacher who consistently goes the extra mile to ensure their students' success. For example, this could be reflected through the quality of their lectures, the depth of assessment feedback you receive, or the time they put into supporting students.
This award honours a creative and imaginative educator who brings learning to life through fresh ideas or unconventional methods. This could include thinking outside the box, using storytelling, hands-on activities, new technology, or real-world connections.
A changemaker is someone invested in positive change – for example, they may be passionate about integrating sustainability into their teaching, committed to provide equal opportunities to students from marginalised backgrounds, or implement social responsibility in the classroom. They may have also worked on a project to improve sustainability or inclusion within the University.
This category highlights teaching and non-teaching staff who work hard to improve the student learning experience. This may be through working closely with the student reps, centring students at the heart of decisions about teaching and learning or actively implementing student feedback.
This award recognises the hard work of non-teaching staff who support students outside of teaching and has had a positive impact on your student experience.
This award honours teaching assistants and tutors who work hard to ensure their students receive the best academic learning and guidance.
This category recognises a supervisor of postgraduate research who shows dedication to making sure their research students succeed. This may include the support they provide through meetings and the quality of guidance and information you receive from them.
You can nominate any teaching staff in the categories:
In addition, there are three separate categories for Non-Teaching and Support Staff, Teaching Assistants and Tutors, and PGR Supervisors, respectively.
The judging panel don't know your nominees and can only base their decisions on the nominations you submit. So avoid one-liners and give clear examples of how your nominee has stood out in your chosen category!
