*Supporting and Recognising Developers* If you are working in an educational development unit, in a Higher Education Academy Subject Centre or in a CETL, on a nationally or institutionally funded educational project, or if you have responsibility for staff and educational development in your School or Faculty, then this announcement is of interest to you. SEDA is offering a national programme suitable for colleagues who are relatively new to this area of work, or who have been working as staff and educational developers for only a few years. It concentrates on supporting your activities in carrying out cycles of development activity (goal setting, planning, facilitating, monitoring, evaluating and following up) within your particular organisational and strategic contexts. The programme – being offered for the first time in association with the Higher Education Academy - is recognised under SEDA’s Professional Development Framework and leads to the award of Staff and Educational Development Certificate. Successful participants are also eligible to gain Associate Fellowship status with SEDA. As with all programmes recognised under SEDA-PDF awards, attention is paid to professional values and to personal development. Supported with funding from the Higher Education Academy, this programme is in its pilot phase. One of the attached flyers gives details of the Assessment and Portfolio Module, which leads to the award, and which will run for the first time from October 2006. The other flyer gives details of the six-week on-line module (“Introduction to Staff and Educational Development”) which will run for the first time from September 2006. To register for either of these courses, please complete the relevant registration form and return to the SEDA office.
