National Teaching Fellowships

HEFCE awards 20 National Teaching Fellowships of £50 000 each year administered by the Institute for Learning and Teaching (ILT). They are designed to recognise excellent practice in teaching and the facilitation of learning by individual teachers who can demonstrate national standards of excellence. The first wave of fellowships included three mathematicians - Patricia Egerton Keith Hirst and Peter Edwards - who were featured in our August 2000 issue. The second wave included two more - Chris Budd and Michael McCabe whose summaries are published here. Further articles will be carried from all the projects as they develop.
