The Pedagogical Academy
Karolinska Institutet’s Pedagogical Academy consists of teachers who demonstrate skills above and beyond those seen in ordinary teaching and learning at Karolinska Institutet. Their pedagogical efforts have been recognized as particularly important to promoting high quality education.
The overall aim of the Pedagogical Academy is to promote pedagogical development and commitment to education and training issues by recognizing the teachers who demonstrate excellence in pedagogy. Pedagogical excellence at KI means that teachers function in various ways to ensure that their students’ learning is students' supported. This is shown in a pedagogical portfolio and assessed according to given criteria.
Our members' skills are seen as an important resource for continued pedagogical development at KI.
The Committee for Higher Education decided at its meeting on 14 May 2025 to cease admission to the Pedagogical Academy and work towards the introduction of "Excellent Teachers" as a qualification step at KI.
