Teaching
Huddersfield was revealed on the 23 November 2012 to be the first UK University to be recognised by the Higher Education Academy as having all its teaching staff meet the requirements of the The UK Professional Standards Framework and as a result have all lecturers entitled to use the post-nominal 'Fellow of the Higher Education Academy' (FHEA). The historic achievement was marked by the presentation of a commemorative plaque by The Chief Executive of the HEA, Professor Craig Mahoney.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
