Teaching award for Brighton chemist
Bristol University's Dr Hal Sosabowski is the latest chemist to join the ranks of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme
Dr Michael Hal Sosabowski of the University of Brighton has been recognised for his efforts in furthering the teaching of chemistry in the 2006 round of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS).
Now in its seventh year, the scheme recognises outstanding teachers or learning support staff in higher education in England and Northern Ireland. The initiative is managed by the Higher Education Academy and funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), as part of its Teaching Quality Enhancement Fund (TQEF) programme, and the Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland.
The awards are based on the candidate's ability to inspire their students and enhance the learning experience, to inspire their colleagues in their teaching, and to demonstrate a reflective approach to their teaching. This year the NTFS advisory panel considered 242 nominations before selecting 50 new fellows. This year's award winners each receive £10,000, which they must use to develop further their teaching.
