As CATE nears its 10th Anniversary, building upon the success of the inaugural publication The CATE Collection: Together in Collaborative Educational Leadership, we believe it is timely to initiate the publication of a second edition of this exceptional publication.  

From its inception, it was envisaged that the collection, would be a living and evolving resource for all involved in higher and further education, who have a passion for innovation in learning and teaching that is evidence-informed, proven in practice and collaboratively shaped. Through a series of case studies authored by winning teams, the original resource focused on the ‘what, why, how and who’ of the Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE). 

In the new edition, in celebration of CATE’s 10th anniversary in 2026, we focus not on what teams did (to win their awards), but on what they are doing now. This edition will focus on stories that capture the long-lasting (reach, value) impact of CATE collaborations; impact on the lives (and careers) of team members, and other stakeholders. In sharing these amazing stories, we hope not only to inspire future teams, but to raise the profile of this important award with senior leaders and managers across the FE and HE sector.
