Eligibility
Academics and teaching and learning specialists at all South African public higher education institutions are eligible for this award.
Selection criteria
The selection criteria take into account the inherent inequalities that characterise higher education institutions across the country. As such, three categories of awards have been established:
Beginner teachers and/or teaching and learning specialists – individuals in their first five years of teaching.
Experienced teachers and/or teaching and learning specialists – individuals who have made significant contributions over time and demonstrated leadership in discipline-specific teaching.
Collaborative teaching teams – groups who have worked together to develop and deliver teaching interventions.
Applications may be submitted either by individuals or by teaching collaboration teams.
Applications may be submitted by individuals or by a teaching collaboration team. A teaching team comprises two or more academics or academic development practitioners who collaborate over a sustained period to design and deliver a module, course, or programme. This may include the development of an innovative programme or joint work on a project such as the renewal of a module or programme.
The portfolio should clearly outline the role played by each team member.
