At the end of last month we held our assessment panel, awarding HEA Fellowship to a number of NTU colleagues. At NTU we are accredited by AdvanceHE to award 4 categories of fellowship to recognise colleagues’ contribution to learning and teaching. As a way to celebrate International Women’s Day 2021, let’s shine a light on the learning and teaching practice of 4 of our recent Fellowship Females.

Sara Baldwin, PFHEA, Director of Student Support Services
Sara was recently awarded Principal Fellow (PFHEA) in recognition of her transformational leadership of student services. Sara’s submission detailed sustained practice that has revolutionised the infrastructure and culture across the learner lifecycle. Congratulations Sara!

Dr Claire Markham, FHEA, Lecturer in Sociology & Criminology @culturalclare
Claire was recently awarded Fellow (FHEA) with a submission full of great learning and teaching practice including a significant focus on sustainability. Claire also worked creatively to offer a student-centred approach to support hours via MSTeams including a seamless booking system linked to the VLE. Congratulations Claire!

Elaine Arici, SFHEA, Senior Lecturer, Nottingham Business School
Elaine was recently awarded Senior Fellow (SFHEA). Elaine’s case studies were full of good examples that showcased how she provided coaching and mentorship to colleagues. Elaine supports early career academics as they progress on the PG Cert in Learning and Teaching. Elaine also demonstrated her SFHEA profile by discussing her work as an external examiner. She is also remaining in good standing by working as a reviewer for our Fellowship Scheme. Congratulations Elaine!

Dr Itoro Ekpo, AFHEA, Associate Lecturer in Human Resource Management
Itoro was recently awarded Associate Fellow (AFHEA). Itoro’s case studies discussed how she has brought some gamification into the classroom. The learners she worked with reported how this feedback opportunity enriched their learning experience. Over the last year, Itoro has been embedding learning she gained from attending a professional conference on assessment and feedback- with great results! Congratulations Itoro!
