The MPLS Divisional Teaching Award Scheme celebrates success, and recognises innovation and/or leadership in teaching. Awards are available to all those who teach, including graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and learning support staff. The Teaching Award Scheme is administered by the MPLS Divisional Office and awards are made, on merit, across the departments by a cross-departmental panel chaired by the Associate Head of Division (Education). The awards will be celebrated at the end of Trinity Term 2023. Nominations are now open and you can nominate yourself or another person and may be made by academics, staff and students.
Once all nominations have been gathered, each department will shortlist nominations from their departments and then finally our panel will decide the winners.
There are between 5-10 individual awards given for innovation and/or leadership in teaching. These divisional awards carry a financial award of £1,000 per awardee.
How to nominate
To nominate yourself or another person for either of the categories, you will need to fill in a nomination form at: https://oxford.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/mpls-teaching-awards-2023. Any supporting evidence can be sent to @email. In the past, some nominations have not been very detailed which puts them at a disadvantage so please use as much detail as possible.
