Watch the Awardees' short profile videos, or read the teaching profiles
I invite you to watch the video profile clips, and read the 2024 Awardees' teaching and learning profiles. They are sure to inspire!
You will hear the awardees explain what motivates them as a tertiary educator and hear directly from their learners on the effect their teaching practice has had.
Their methods and strategies may differ, but they all share a common goal of making sure that the success of their learners is at the heart of what they do.
Our congratulations again to all the Awardees. It has been an honour to get to know you and help celebrate your great accomplishments as tertiary educators.
