Evaluation of the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme. A report to HEFCE by Sheffield Hallam University.

The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) was launched in 2000 by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) with contributions from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) and the Department for the Economy (DfE) Northern Ireland. The aims of the scheme are to raise the profile of learning and teaching, to recognise and celebrate individuals who make an outstanding impact on the student learning experience, and to provide a national focus for institutional teaching and learning excellence schemes. Eligible institutions include those funded by these sector bodies including further education (FE) institutions and alternative providers (AP) which have 100 or more full-time equivalent students on higher education (HE) programmes.
