Advance HE have published a blog post in which three Senior Fellows of the HEA (SFHEA) and National Teaching Fellows share their top tips for gathering evidence and completing their Senior Fellowship applications.

  1. Collect all the evidence that you think is relevant to make your case for SFHEA and organise it, for example, in a spreadsheet. This can help you identify any themes that emerge from your practice and help you decide what examples are best suited for your two case studies.
  2. Do not treat the application as a “tick box exercise”. “It requires real thought about your own effectiveness in teaching & learning and the influence you have had on colleagues’ professional practice.”
  3. Disseminate your good practice and reach a wider audience. This can be done through, for example, posts on social media or workshops.
