The panel praised &#8220;a genuinely innovative application&#8221; and noted that the prize recognised &#8220;energetic engagement and great resourcefulness with selecting, training, monitoring and supporting Language teacher-trainees&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wissia said: &#8216;As a teacher, I&#8217;ve always striven to do the best that I can for my students, and I take pride in what I do. When I became the Italian &#8211; and then the Modern Languages &#8211; Coordinator, I made it my mission to improve not only our learning environment for the benefit of our students, but also my colleagues&#8217; teaching experience. This award is very important to me, because it is a significant acknowledgement not only of my work, but also of the importance of the project itself, which has aimed, first and foremost, at building a teaching culture by emphasising the crucial role of training, while helping young talents in the pursuit of their dreams.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Professor Shane Weller, Head of School, said: &#8216;Many congratulations to Wissia Fiorucci on the award of this year\u2019s Humanities Teaching Prize. Wissia\u2019s success follows on from last year\u2019s, when this prize was also awarded to a SECL staff member. This is further evidence that we are a school in which innovation in teaching is matched by a strong commitment to a high-quality student experience.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Wissia Fiorucci, School Director of Education and Modern Languages Coordinator in the Department of Modern Languages, has been awarded this year\u2019s Humanities Teaching Prize. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/2019\/06\/28\/wissia-fiorucci\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52167,"featured_media":10918,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10879"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/52167"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10879"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10879\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10939,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10879\/revisions\/10939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/secl-news-events\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
