  • Telling your story: recognising your success – 19th November 2020

This online event, hosted jointly between the NTF Teaching Excellence Network and the Senior/Principal Fellow Forum, welcomed Sally Bradley, Senior Adviser at Advance HE for an inspirational and insightful session which was well attended.

Attendees were encouraged to reflect on their strengths and achievements and how they could be used to achieve professional recognition, such as Senior Fellow, Principal Fellow or to help develop applications for National Teaching Fellowships or the Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence. Those who had already achieved these were asked to think about how they could use their experience to mentor colleagues.
