Hi All,
At Greenwich, having just gone through re-accreditation successfully (we
heard 3 days ago!), we have three different routes, written, oral
presentation and a video route. The oral and video route follow pretty
much the same format as the written route, so participants still have to
present 4 case studies if they are applying for F and SF, and for the
video route, they can only present up to two case studies in this format
(the others will have to be written/oral). So far, majority of our staff
has gone for the written route, only a few have gone for the oral route
(we video them for record) and no one has gone for the video route yet!
We considered the professional dialogue route, but we feel that we do not
have the resources to support this (we also have an institutional
target…), and all of our applicants need to identify a mentor to support
their applications, (who need to come to the workshop with the applicant.
The mentor also carry out the teaching observation), so we feel that the
dialogue is already happening with between the applicants and their
mentors. The applicants are very positive about the support of their
mentors, as they feel that they can have a dialogue with someone who
understands their disciplinary background better.
We are in the process of updating our documents on our website after our
re-accreditation, but you can still find some general information on our
website here: http://www.gre.ac.uk/offices/edu/he/framework
Best wishes
Alice
