ATU School of Science chemistry team win DELTA award

Academic and technical staff who deliver first year chemistry practical classes in ATU Galway City were presented with a DELTA award at the Higher Education (HEA) Office offices recently. The award is granted to discipline groups who demonstrate a record of excellence in teaching and learning enhancement and who commit to an ongoing, clearly articulated, shared process of continued enhancement.



Pictured at the awards ceremony are the School of Science and Computing team with HEA staff, after winning the National Forum’s Disciplinary Excellence in Learning, Teaching and Assessment (DELTA) Award. L to R: Tim Conlon, Head of Policy and Strategic Planning at the Higher Education Authority, Anne Downes, ATU, Dr Aisling Crowley, ATU; Dr Cormac Quigley, ATU, Dr Lynn Ramsey, Chair – National Forum, Dr Etain Kiely, ATU, Dr Eugene McCarthy, ATU, and Dr Michelle Glacken, ATU.

The ATU Galway team delivers labs to a diverse cohort of students across a number of academic programmes. The group is active in both subject specific and general pedagogical research and has implemented a number of highly innovative teaching practices. The DELTA award offered the team a chance to reflect on and consolidate their work allowing a clear recognition of what has been achieved as a collective body of work.
