National Teaching Fellowship
As a National Teaching Fellow for the Higher Education Academy this has grounded Glenn's direction in the pursuit of international teaching and learning excellence. This is the highest recognition in the United Kingdom for teaching and learning excellence. The process of applying to the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme required critical personal reflection on: how he supported and enabled learner excellence; how he raised the profile of excellence by supporting other teachers and the University sector; and how he developed personal excellence in teaching, research and management. Glenn has continued to focus on these priority areas and this has led to further initiatives focused on digital innovations for lifelong learning.
