Dr Rossana Wright has been awarded the 2013 Lord Dearing Award for excellence in teaching and learning and received her award at the School of Chemistry’s Graduation Ceremony on the 15th July 2013.
A Dearing Award is highly valued within the University and acknowledges the world-class input of staff in creating a student learning environment which is nurturing on the one hand, but, on the other, is challenging, creative and innovative. The Dearing Award Scheme has, since 1999, recognised the outstanding achievements of University of Nottingham staff in enhancing the student learning experience and attracts intense competition. It is awarded based on the nomination evidence and using the criteria listed below:
• Excellence in supporting student learning;
• Evidence of stimulating and inspiring student learning;
• Recognition and support of diverse student learning needs;
• Supporting colleagues in the promotion of student learning;
• A serious and on-going commitment to review and reflection to enhance individual practice;
Vice-Chancellor Professor David Greenaway said “These awards, which are now in their fifteenth year, are an important recognition of excellence and innovation in teaching and learning in our University. The fact that the process for achieving this award is so competitive is testimony to their value”.
