CCT’s own Colette Kirwan (Computing) and Gemma Davis (Business) have been awarded as ‘Teaching Herores’ at a ceremony at Dublin Castle today at an event attended by Minister for Education Jan O’Sullivan and National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning Patron Prof. Mary McAleese. A maximum of two teaching heroes per institution were nominated by students, across the Universities, Institutes of Technology and recognised private colleges.

The teaching hero award is the first of its kind in higher education in Ireland. The student body of many higher education institutions have worked with the National Forum to identify teachers across the sector who have had a positive and lasting impact on students’ learning experiences. This is a new way of ensuring that students have the opportunity to have their voices heard by identifying their teaching heroes, and to thank and recognise those excellent teachers at a national level.
