Annually I produce a report for the University Governors
and Executive; an evaluation of the Staff Development activity across the
university.
In addition to the collation of all centrally providing
activity, Schools and Services also report on local activity (provision, impact
and investment).
Following a fascinating debate at our strategy group last
week I am particularly interested in finding out what criteria other HEIs use;
both for internal and external benchmarking. In particular:
·
Do you have guidelines for local staff
development spend?
·
Do any of you report/evaluate time invested in
addition/instead of financial spend?
·
Do you have guidelines for time allowances to be
given to development (not just for academics)?
·
Do you include the staff costs of your central
staff development providers?
·
Do you include the staff costs/time associated
with other local provision (eg a learning unit within a School?)
·
Which external benchmarks do you use?
I am very happy to collate and share the responses I
receive if you would find that helpful.
I look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Natasha
