Lizzy Lander commented: “Very excited to be awarded a 2022 TLEP! The project aims to further diversity awareness and to improve student learning as well as belonging. The project will involve purchasing 3D-models of diverse skin (white, black and ageing) to better embed varied models in our teaching. I am delighted to be able to bring these resources to enhance STEM and healthcare student learning as well as develop methodologies to support students across the university”.
Dr Nasreen Majid said: "We are thrilled that our project has been granted funding. Building teacher agency in the development and delivery of climate and sustainability education is at the heart of the aims of our Initial Teacher Training Framework for climate and sustainability education. This funding will enable us to bring in external speakers to further enhance the work on climate justice. Furthermore, we look forward to involving our students in the evaluation process, across academic year 2022-2023, to evolve the framework to the next step".
Hong Yang commented: “We will use our campuses as living labs for Education for Sustainable Development, greening six curricula across three schools and co-designing solutions between students and staff to tackle sustainable development challenges on campuses and beyond.”
Please join us in congratulating the winners! We look forward to hearing more about these projects running in 2022/23.
