Dear Colleagues (My apologies for cross-posting.) A final reminder that the ASPIRE Symposium will be taking place on Friday 13th September. The purpose of this event, which is being sponsored by the Higher Education Academy, is to provide a lively forum for the sharing of institutional successes and challenges in relation to the development and professional recognition of staff who teach and/or support students' learning, including those who take on leadership roles relating to learning and teaching in HE and those who consider themselves first and foremost to be researchers. Key themes are: * the development and successful implementation of accredited CPD schemes for staff who teach and/or support students' learning * the practices, experiences and development of those who take on leadership roles in relation to learning and teaching * institutional practices in relation to reward, recognition and promotion of those who have a teaching role. There are still a few places available, and you can sign up via the website until 31 August.
