Vice Chancellor's Teaching Awards 2020

Congratulations to colleagues who have been awarded Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Awards this year.  The scheme recognises and rewards colleagues (academics, learning support staff, teaching 'teams' and postgraduates/postdocs who teach) who demonstrate excellence in teaching and/or learning support at York.

The panel, chaired by John Robinson, Pro-Vice Chancellor for Teaching, Learning and Students, was looking for three key qualities:

  • Sustained excellence across a range of teaching/support activities and over a reasonable period of time.
  • A creative approach to teaching and/or learning support, focused on student learning needs.  
  • Evidence that nominees make an impact on colleagues as well as students. 

In 2020 we had two rounds, with 14 awards made in the first round and 12 in the second:
