Dear Colleagues

The Art Design Media Subject Centre (ADM-HEA) is pleased to announce the third year of its Teaching Fellowship Scheme.

The Scheme is part of the Subject Centre’s aim to support the professional development and recognition of staff teaching art, design and media in HE and to ensure that their teaching is recognised, valued and rewarded.

The particular focus of this award is on studio-based teaching staff who have previously been under represented in institutional and national award schemes. In this context, studio based learning and teaching includes: work in museums, labs, workshops and field-work in a specified creative practice context and is understood as a learning space where the environment, in and of itself, contributes to the 'curriculum' and studio based practice.

We are asking nominees to demonstrate innovative teaching by providing evidence of achievement in the teaching and support of student learning. Evidence of effective teaching may be presented in a range of formats that could include film, video and audio files.

The scheme’s strength is that it recognises the diversity of staff who support student learning in art, design and media subjects and how crucial individual teachers are in the support and enhancement of learning and teaching.

ADM-HEA has allocated £30,000 in support of the Fellowship Scheme and we anticipate awarding funding of between £1,000 and £3,000 per project. It is expected that institutions will contribute matched funding via in-kind support.

If you would like advice or guidance on your application, please contact Carolyn Bew, Academic Developer: [log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]
