Dear Colleagues
It is National Teaching Fellowship (NTF) season again.
Since I was awarded a NTF in 2000, I have often been asked to run workshops on applying for a NTF, mentor applicants and advise universities wanting to increase the number of successful applicants.
I recognise that there are many different approaches both to applying for a NTF and to supporting potential candidates; applying for a NTF is after all a very personal affair. What I have attempted to do is to distil some general points
which potential candidates and universities may find worth considering. They are arranged under three headings:
3.
Ten Ways in which Universities can Support and Develop Applicants for National Teaching Fellowships.
Applicants I have mentored and participants at workshops say they have found earlier versions helpful. So I thought I would make them more generally available on my website –
www.mickhealey.co.uk under resources.
I would welcome hearing (off list) of additional or alternative suggestions and strategies for helping colleagues strengthen their applications and for universities to build the capacity and confidence of their staff to receive recognition
for their teaching excellence.
Best wishes
Mick
