Contribute ideas for this year’s Bristol Teaching Awards celebration event
Planning has begun for the Bristol Teaching Awards 2021, including how we can best organise an online celebration event to recognise and thank shortlisted staff and announce award winners. We would love to make this online event truly special and celebratory, and we therefore welcome your ideas so we can ensure it is as good, if not better than the face to face event. If you have any ideas or suggestions for optimising this online celebration event please provide your comments below. The BILT Team will be reviewing your feedback as part of the BTA planning process. Many thanks for your contributions.
