We are delighted to announce that a publication focusing on the experience and expertise of the CATE community will be published via Advance HE in Autumn 2021. This publication will be titled: The CATE Collection: Together in Collaborative Educational Leadership.
In-keeping with the collaborative nature of CATE, we are looking for contributions to this publication from previous CATE winners – these contributions will take the form of either a chapter of between 3,000-5,000 words or a case study. A total of six contributor chapters will be published.
Case studies will be used within a wider editorial piece on the theme of ‘Ingredients for CATE success’. As such, your case study proposals should focus on application preparation top tips and/or critical reflections on successful and unsuccessful applications (i.e. an “If at first you don’t succeed…”-style narrative). We anticipate that case studies will be approx. 500 words in length and the editorial team will work with the CATE-Net community to weave your case studies into a collaborative patchwork article to include a range of CATE voices. The editorial team may choose to take extracts from the wider 500-word case studies that we receive to create this editorial piece.
If you are interested in contributing to this publication please see below for proposal criteria, deadlines and further details of the publication.
