Recognition

How your work as an EdTA mentor can be recognised.

We are very proud of our EdTA mentoring community. Without you, this scheme is not possible. We feel that EdTA mentoring can be a very valuable experience working with and supporting colleagues around the university, and that you should be recognised for it. Here is a list of ways that you can gain recognition for your contribution:

  • Talk with your colleagues about your mentoring experiences
  • Include ‘EdTA mentor’ in your email signature
  • Share your experiences with your line manager and include EdTA mentoring in your workload allocation (if appropriate in your local context)
  • Celebrate with your mentees when they gain an award
  • Celebrate together at the annual L&T conference with the wider UoE L&T community

Also, we can write a letter or email, to formally report on your contributions to your line manager or local leaders for the purpose of annual review or promotions. If you’d like a letter from us, please reach out to IAD.cpdframework@ed.ac.uk.
