Description:... Using as its central case study the practice of the UK's most 'excellent' university teachers, as awarded by the National Teaching Fellowship Scheme, this book draws upon insightful interviews with award winners and considers their teaching approaches and development plans. Reference to similar schemes in the USA, Canada, Australia and South Africa offers a comparative perspective and helps the reader locate national policies and practices within the growing worldwide 'excellence movement' in higher education.
