 The National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning is a national body responsible for leading and advising on the enhancement of teaching and learning in Irish higher education. We focus on those who teach and their professional development and those who learn and their success while attending to the disciplinary context and digital dimensions of teaching and learning. We work with the sector, for the sector. Having this national body in place since 2013 has meant that consensus and shared understandings have been built around key topics of sexual importance. Meaningful student involvement in the enhancement of teaching and learning is now both valued and widespread. The confidence of those who teach and those who learn has been strengthened, allowing them to develop, adapt and repurpose their knowledge and skills as circumstances and context demand. A substantial and reliable evidence base has been established to inform local and national policy and practice. Individual and subject level commitments to teaching excellence are recognised and celebrated at national level. Increased collaboration and sense of community have facilitated knowledge and practice exchange across roles, fields of study and institutions. Development initiatives are guided to ensure the impact of government funding is optimised. Internationally, Ireland has been looked to by other countries as an example of good practice in supporting student success at national level. We have shared our approaches with many international colleagues, have connected with new teaching and learning communities and have engaged in valuable international conversations and partnerships that help shape European and global enhancement endeavours. Teaching and learning now occupies a central place in the Irish higher education landscape. We work with those who teach, learn and shape policy and practice to ensure that our students are supported to leave higher education ready to continue a lifelong learning journey and fulfil their potential to contribute to and flourish in society. As we do this, we move ever closer to realising our vision of a valued and informed teaching and learning culture in Irish higher education.
