Criteria
Judges will be looking for
projects, based in traditional or innovative learning environments,
which bring its participants added value in terms of competence and
motivation.
Projects should be as comprehensive as possible, reaching beyond
small groups of learners. Evidence of institution-wide support for
the project and indeed its overall impact would also strengthen
applications.
Projects can involve any language other than English, but should
include an international dimension. Award-winning initiatives will
serve as a potential source of inspiration for projects in other
contexts, languages and even other countries.
For projects to be eligible for an Award they must demonstrate that
they are:
- Innovative
The initiative involves a new method, approach or resource, which
improves on previous provision.
- Effective
The project is underpinned by verifiable progress towards learner
targets. New projects that have not been operational for long
enough to produce the intended outcomes will not be eligible for an
Award at this stage.
- Replicable
The initiative can be replicated in other contexts, with
potential for growth and development.
