Hi Jo,
I wrote up a case study of our approach to this at GCU ‘Raising the profile: an institutional case study of embedding scholarship and innovation through distributive leadership’ which was published recently in the SEDA journal, IETI.

Hope it's of interest.
Regards,
Linda

The HEA have recently funded some work in this by Annette Cashmore, Chris Cane and Robert Cane.
I cannot find the information on their website but I was at an event of their's last week there which I was given hardcopies of the following:
Promoting Teaching; Making Evidence Count Promoting Teaching; Benchmarking Guide Promoting Teaching; Good Practice Benchmarks and Rebalancing promotion in the HE sector: is teaching excellence being rewarded?
The last of these includes report on analysis of institutional promotion schemes and the number of whom recognised teaching excellence.
I expect the HEA will be to provide you with copies if you get in touch with them.
Regards
Linda

Hi Jo
At the University of Edinburgh, a career weighted towards teaching is recognized well through the creation of well-structured pathways for promotion to professorship which recognize that some posts are more heavily weighted towards teaching and for example, that in such cases, taking on a readership would not make best sense. You may find our grade profiles at http://www.docs.csg.ed.ac.uk/HumanResources/Grade-Profiles.pdf of interest. Also, notice the section 'Exemplars of Excellence in Student Education' at http://www.ed.ac.uk/schools-departments/human-resources/pay-reward/promotions-grading/academic-staff/procedures-criteria
.
Best wishes
Margaret

In line with many other institutions, we give protected time to those academics who are research-active but there is nothing commensurate for those who have demonstrated expertise and excellence in teaching and the support of learning. I wondered if anyone worked for an insitution that did this? I'd be very grateful for any information and am very happy to compile and distribute any guidance I receive.
