Professor Catherine Hayes has been named as one of the Advance HE Torchbearers in 2021.
Advance HE are promoting the work of innovators in assessment as torch bearers.
As a torchbearer, Catherine will be celebrating the integration of dialogic feedback into the University’s interdisciplinary professional doctorate module as an integral part of the programme, as the interactive map is launched this month.
Catherine is a Professor of Health Professions Pedagogy and Scholarship at the University of Sunderland, and Secretary of the Executive Board of the International Federation of National Teaching Fellows (IFNTF).
She said: “It is great to be part of a project with such reach and pedagogical impact and a wonderful opportunity to still work with international colleagues from across the world during a time when most of our travelling has been curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“As a National Teaching Fellow and Principal Fellow of Higher Education Advance it is also an opportunity to promote the UKPSF via Higher Education Advance and to encourage all of our colleagues here at Sunderland to apply for Fellowships at all levels of the UKPSF framework with Higher Education Advance.”
