Teacher of the Year 2021
Jessica Zweers, lecturer in biology and medical laboratory research at Hanze University Groningen, has been named Lecturer of the Year 2021. She wins an education grant of 25,000 euros.
The jury believes that Zweers excels in educational innovation and admires the way in which she manages to inspire others. And although it is not easy to teach biology and laboratory research online, Zweers has succeeded excellently in doing so over the past year.
The award ceremony (Dutch only) took place in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht and could be followed digitally. The other teachers nominated this year were Arianna Pranger (Leiden University/LUMC), Machiel Blok (Rotterdam University) and Karen Kotten-Lips (HAN University of Applied Sciences). Together with them, Zweers will become a member of the Comenius Network (Dutch only) of recognised educational innovators.
The election was organised for the seventh time by the Interstedelijk Studenten Overleg (ISO), which draws attention to good teaching and education. Minister Van Engelshoven was present to present the award. (HOP, Evelien Flink)
