Share your teaching tips for the chance to win one of eight awards.

UNSW educators are invited to share their teaching practices in a two-minute video as part of the 2024 UNSW Exemplary Teaching Practice (ETP) Awards.  

Sponsored by the Scientia Education Academy (SEA), these unique awards help build teaching effectiveness across the University. They recognise our incredible educators for their outstanding approaches to education and improving the student experience.  

The ETP Awards aim to unearth and share widely applicable, useful teaching practices by showcasing brief, helpful videos about tackling common teaching challenges.  

Winning entries will receive one of eight $1,000 awards (one for each teaching category), as well as peer-reviewed recognition of educational impact to cite in applications for a job, tenure, promotion or other teaching awards.  

Award winners, finalists and honourable mentions are showcased in the Teaching News You Can Use (TNYCU) repository.
