Gold! Your Teaching Excellence Framework playlist

We are now in the middle of TEF year two. Institutions (or ‘providers’ if you must) have made their submissions and assessors are now assessing. We’ll hear the outcomes (and submit the appeals) in a month or so (General Election permitting). But in the meantime, what songs are assessors listening to as they review the metrics and make their initial hypotheses?

My guess is that some of the following are on the TEF office turntable.

Note that five of the following are made up songs – guaranteed medal upgrade for your institution if you can identify them all:
