Teaching, Learning and Supporting Students

Our Strategic Teaching and Learning team, working in partnership with colleagues across our Schools and Services, provides an extensive range of development opportunities focused on enhancing teaching and learning practices. These initiatives not only support academic excellence but also prioritise student wellbeing, equipping staff with the tools and approaches needed to create inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning environments.

The Researcher Development Framework (RDF) is a professional development framework for researchers in higher education. This theme supports the following domains on the RDF: Domain D - Engagement, Influence and Impact.

Fellowship of Higher Education Academy

Advance HE's Fellowship scheme allows colleagues to demonstrate their commitment to professionalism in the sector. Through the scheme you can become a Principal Fellow, Senior Fellow, Fellow or Associate Fellow. Gaining Fellowship offers staff an opportunity to reflect upon their professional practice in respect to teaching and learning, and demonstrate that they meet the standards outlined in the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF).

Learning Technologies

You can set up an induction to Brightspace and our other Learning Technologies with your Learning Technology Advisor. Learning Bytes sessions are a series of informal one-hour lunchtime sessions for all staff. Each one will focus on a different pedagogical need and allow for discussion and sharing of best practice alongside short demonstrations (where appropriate). You can attend relevant monthly Learning Bytes sessions and all training materials for Learning Technologies are on the iPark site.
