This never happens. I have been teaching here for donkey’s years, and every year there are teaching awards, but I never get nominated for anything. And this year an email pinged into my inbox with the nominations. I had a little look, and the usual suspects popped up. But entirely at the bottom of the list, there was my name. What?
The categories are: teacher of the year, student voice, dissertation supervisor, support staff member, outstanding pastoral care, unsung hero, and digital innovation. Guess which category I was in? No you guessed wrong. It was digital innovation! I have no idea what that refers to. Me, being great at digital innovation? I am a clanging troglodyte!
I suppose at some point I will find out on what basis I got this nomination. I am really curious. And I think this also means I am expected to show up at the dinner for nominees. I have obviously never been. It could be good fun! And then I will not win that prize. It would be ludicrous if I did.
It is nice to get recognition, but it is really baffling if you haven't got a start of an idea of what inspired it. I will report back…
