To receive a National Teaching Fellowship individuals must demonstrate evidence of enhancing and transforming student outcomes and/or the teaching profession, showing impact. They must raise the profile of excellence, supporting colleagues and influencing support for student learning and/or the teaching profession, and demonstrate impact and engagement beyond their own immediate academic or professional role. They must also exhibit commitment to, and the impact of, ongoing professional development with regard to teaching and learning and/or learning support.
