The call for nominations for the individual awards of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) is now open, with a closing date of 3 February 2010. The awards aim to raise the profile of learning and teaching in England and Northern Ireland.
The QCDA are currently looking for HE lecturers who would like to be involved in reviewing principal learning qualifications. The feedback from HE lecturers has always been well regarded by awarding bodies and their involvement will help to ensure that the qualifications are as robust as possible, and hence more likely to be successful. All HE lecturers receive a £250 honorarium following completion of the review and attendance at the focus groups.

LLAS can offer tailored packages of support for departments/Schools, designed to help them reflect on their activities and develop a strategy for the future. This is in response to the discussions at the September workshop on ‘Thriving in Difficult Times’ and the subsequent publication of the Worton Report on language in Higher Education. Because this is designed to benefit individual institutions, we are required to charge a market rate for the service.
Baroness Cousins has won a ballot for a 15 minute speech followed by debate in the House of Lords on languages for employability on 3rd December at 11:30.
