Project objectives
With this project, we aim to equip universities with strategies to recognise and incentivise engaged educators, as well as support the design of support structures that would embed these strategies within Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). To achieve this aim, we set the following objectives:
Contribute to a better understanding of the institutional change towards the recognition of the engaged educator in academia, by conducting research on the status quo and the needs of educators and HEIs.
Support HEIs in fostering teaching academics’ professional advancement by co-creating and testing an Engaged Educator Recognition and Promotion Matrix, a teaching assessment framework that will support HEIs in fostering teaching academics’ professional advancement, by recognising and promoting a variety of engagement activities.
Equip HEIs professional staff and leadership with strategies to recognise and incentivise engaged educators, by codeveloping and testing a roadmap for engaged educators’ recognition and promotion.
Contribute to European Commission (EC) priority to develop and implement strategies and quality culture to reward and incentivise excellence in teaching, by providing policy recommendations.
