HE Bioscience Teacher of the Year Award

The HE Bioscience Teacher of the Year Award seeks to identify the UK’s leading bioscience university teachers recognising the invaluable role played by Teachers in Higher Education. The competition is open to all employed bioscience teachers in the UK higher education system and individuals can be nominated either by self, peer or management nomination using the quick nomination form attached.

The Bioscience Teacher of the Year Award has been developed from the UK Centre for Bioscience’s Ed Wood Teaching Awards, which were established in 2008/09 to provide an annual opportunity for bioscience academics to receive national recognition for their outstanding learning and teaching practices. The closure of the UK Centre for Bioscience in December 2011 means that the award will now be offered and managed by the Society of Biology. The Society of Biology is delighted to be able to ensure that this Award continues despite the Centre’s closure. We are also delighted that Oxford University Press has agreed to continue supporting the Awards, which aim to strengthen and raise the profile of teaching excellence in the biosciences.

The Ed Wood Teaching Awards were originally based on the scheme of the Higher Education Academy Engineering Subject Centre and later incorporated a framework of excellence adapted with permission from the University of Leeds.
