Nominations for the seventh annual Inspirational Teaching and Outstanding Student Support awards are now underway for 2017.

An independent survey was made available to all students* early in Semester 2 asking them to nominate an inspirational teacher and/or someone who has made a similar contribution to their experience outside the classroom, and provide a comment in support of their nomination.

* A new inspirational teaching award for overseas partners is being introduced for 2017 – a separate survey will be undertaken in Spring 2017 for students who are eligible to participate.  As in previous years, a separate survey will also run for PG Research students.

The selection process for the awards will follow the same methodology as previous years.    Details of the award winners, including those at overseas partners, are expected to be announced mid to late May and a celebratory awards dinner will take place on 6th July.

Nominations for the Inspirational Teaching Awards 2016

The process for Inspirational Teaching Awards is well underway.  As in previous years, students completing the Student Barometer were asked to nominate an inspirational teacher and/or someone who had made a similar contribution to their experience outside the classroom. Students were also asked to provide a comment in support of their nomination. A separate survey was made available to those students not covered by the Student Barometer. As the Postgraduate Research Survey does not operate this year, a separate survey has been made available for students to nominate inspirational research supervisors.

A total of 4707 nominations were received from students, nominating 1426 individual staff/groups of staff for either an inspirational teaching award or outstanding student support across the four faculties, and directorates. These numbers are comparable to previous years. The selection process for the Inspirational Teaching and Outstanding Student Support Awards is following the same approach as previous years.   Each faculty convenes a panel to consider Faculty awards and nominations for University Inspirational Teaching and Outstanding Student Support Awards.  These are then considered by a separate independent University Panel who make the final awards.

For Inspirational Teaching Awards the panels make decisions based on criteria which focus on the impact the nominee has on student learning such as fostering enthusiasm for their subject and inspiring student engagement with learning. For Outstanding Student Support the criteria focus on the impact the nominee has had through the support they have provided, for example, providing exceptional support above and beyond what might normally be expected.

The announcement of this year’s awards will be made in mid-May, after the University Panel has convened.  As in previous years, the awards will be celebrated at an awards dinner in July and at the graduation ceremonies in November.

Background to this year’s awards

At the end of Semester 1  students completing the Student Barometer were asked to name an inspirational teacher and/or someone who had made a similar contribution outside the classroom experience and explain how the individual had made a difference. A separate survey was made available for level 6 students.  Students were asked to nominate Research Supervisors  through the Postgraduate Research Experience Survey (PRES).

Inspirational Teaching and Outstanding Student Support Nominations

A total of 4929 nominations were received nominating 1777 individual staff / groups of staff for either an inspirational teaching award or outstanding student support across the four faculties, and directorates. This is a significant increase on last year where the number was 3500.

The selection process for the Inspirational Teaching Awards has followed the same methodology as previous years. Each faculty convened a panel to consider their nominations and used the criteria below to assess the impact the nominees have had on their students and made 15 Faculty Awards who were nominated for a University Inspirational Teaching Award. Similarly 3 staff were made a Faculty Award for Outstanding Student Support and nominated for a University Award. The University Panel sat on the 5th May chaired by myself along with our external Prof Mick Healey (PFHEA, NTF), Prof Mike Bramhall (Assistant Dean Academic Development Faculty of ACES, PFHEA and NTF), Emily Conor (Sheffield Hallam Students Union President), Prof Colin Beard (NTF and Teaching Fellow in Sheffield Business School) and Juliet Hinrichsen (Head of Academic Professional Development, LEAD).

Criteria

Inspirational Teaching Award

1.Fostering enthusiasm for their subject and inspiring student engagement with learning

2. Raising academic attainment by challenging students to achieve their full potential

3. Transformational impact on students in their transition in, through and out of their programme of study.

Outstanding Student Support

1. Supporting students and enabling them to achieve

2. Impact on student retention and progression

3.Providing exceptional support above and beyond what might normally be expected

Inspirational Research Supervisors

A total of 192 staff were also nominated by students for an Inspirational Research Supervisor Award which were considered by a panel chaired by Dr Doug Cleaver.
