2022 Exemplary Teaching Practice Award winners

Do you have a winning teaching tip?  

UNSW educators are invited to share their teaching practices in the form of a two-minute video as part of the UNSW Exemplary Teaching Practice (ETP) Awards. 

Sponsored by the Scientia Education Academy (SEA), these unique awards are very different to other teaching awards available to our staff. They help to build teaching effectiveness across UNSW, as well as recognise our incredible educators for their outstanding approaches to education and improving the student experience. 

The ETP Awards aim to unearth and share widely applicable, useful teaching practices across our campuses by showcasing brief, helpful videos about tackling common teaching challenges. Award winners, finalists and honourable mentions are showcased in the Teaching News You Can Use (TNYCU) repository.
