Recognising Excellence in Teaching
RET is the University of Glasgow’s CPD framework, which aims to provide development opportunities as well as professional recognition of expertise in teaching and supporting learning.
Maintaining its alignment with the UKPSF means that University of Glasgow Fellowship is portable, professional recognition.
There are four categories of recognition: Associate Fellow, Fellow, Senior Fellow and Principal Fellow. Applying is free and there are two deadlines each year for submission. There is a structured programme of support consisting of workshops, peer groups and teaching observations that assist participants to write their application.
