Reward and recognition for teaching
CTESS offers a range of support for staff to develop their learning and teaching career.

Student engagement reminder: ‘tap in’!
It’s important to track students’ attendance so we can identify students who are not fully engaged with their studies and provide support. One vital tool for this is the ‘tapping in’ system which records students’ attendance, so please remind your students to ‘tap in’ to each class. For more information and guidance, please visit: https://www.stmarys.ac.uk/announcements/2022/09/student-engagement-reminder.
