Nominate your favourite teacher to the Excellent Teaching Award 2024

“The skills and dedication of our teachers drive the quality of our courses and study programmes. The excellent teaching award is such a nice way for students to recognise the work of their teachers and their real, meaningful contribution to students’ daily life,” says Anna-Karin Andershed, deputy vice-chancellor at Örebro University.

Students are able to nominate their favourite teacher to this year’s excellent teaching award between 21 October and 10 November. On behalf of Örebro University, the award is presented to two teachers who have conveyed knowledge with dedication and pedagogical skills.

“Being part of this process and seeing the nominations for the excellent teaching award is so rewarding! Students have a chance to acknowledge those teachers that really inspire them and take teaching to another level,” says Viktor Breström, vice president of Örebro Student Union with a responsibility for educational policy.

An assessment panel select the two award winners. The nominees are entirely anonymous to the panel, which means that the panel do not know who the teachers are or even what school they are from. The assessment is based on the nomination texts written by the students, providing the reasons for why the teacher should receive the award, and on the score they have received in the nomination form.
