Comments from staff who have engaged in the internal recognition
scheme • HEA Application?! It’s one of those things you do unwillingly- realise
it was worth it- and will others to do it!
• I began my application for HEA accreditation longer ago than I care to recall. It just seemed like too much effort, between the teaching and research activities, to complete, edit, reflect...and find two referees. But when I completed the process, to have others acknowledge my work, made this one of my most life enhancing experiences.
• Going through the process of writing my HEA Fellowship application made me reflect on my journey, discipline my writing and realise how far I had come in understanding my teaching and learning.
• I've come through this process feeling it was a genuinely rewarding process - not a means to an end.
