Professor
Amanda Chetwynd, Professor in Mathematics and Statistics is one of the
20 winners of the 2003 National Teaching Fellowship Scheme. Her case
for teaching excellence is based on her inspiring teaching, her
influence on policy development in relation to learning and teaching
within the institution and her contribution to national debates about
the teaching of mathematics.
National Teaching Fellowships are worth 50,000 pounds over three years.
Amanda will be using the money to develop interactive learning
materials at the interface between school and university mathematics,
with a particular emphasis on probability and statistics.
Amanda will receive her award from the Rt Hon Margaret Hodge, Minister
for Lifelong Learning and Higher Education, at a gala event in London
on 15 July.
The National Teaching Fellowship Scheme (NTFS) recognises and rewards
lecturers or learning support staff in higher education for their
excellence in teaching. The Scheme has been in existence for four
years, and Lancaster has achieved the unique distinction of having a
winner in each of these four years. Previous winners of the Fellowships
are;
Mike Winstanley (History) 2002, Susan Armitage (CELT) 2001, Mick Short (Linguistics) 2000 |
