The Teaching Hero award ceremony took place on September 30th in Dublin Castle. The winning Teaching Heroes from higher education institutions were presented with their prestigious awards from the Patron, Mary McAleese. Siobhan Magner and David Wallace were the recipients from DBS, and we send them our congratulations on this fantastic achievement.
This award is the first of its kind in higher education in Ireland. The student bodies of many higher education institutions worked with the National Forum to identify teachers across the sector that 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.
