Advance HE offer two national level awards for recognising and rewarding teaching excellence:
National Teaching Fellowship (NTF) - The NTF award celebrates and recognises individuals who have made an outstanding impact on student outcomes and the teaching profession in higher education and has been running since 2000.
Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE) - CATE recognises and rewards collaborative work that has had a demonstrable impact on teaching and learning. Introduced in 2016, the scheme highlights the key role of teamwork in higher education.
Each year Oxford Brookes can submit up to 3 applicants for the NTF award and 1 team for the CATE award. It is a highly selective process and may take teams or individuals 2-3 years to work towards being in a position to submit a strong application.
The Oxford Centre of Academic Enhancement and Development (OCAED) and former award winners actively support candidates through this process through an information workshop, a 1-2-1 interview, feedback on a draft and individual mentoring.
