Dear colleagues,

You may be interested in the following HEA Change programme:

Students as partners in the curriculum

Applications are being invited for the latest HEA Change programme, Students as partners in the curriculum. This programme will help HE providers develop their capacity to work with students to enhance the curriculum and engage students with learning and teaching processes and will build on the successes of last year’s inaugural Students as partners change programme.

 

At least half the members of participating teams will be students, with the rest made up of academic staff, professional support staff and senior managers. Last year’s programme included teams from Manchester Metropolitan University, University of Oxford and University of Ulster with projects such as reducing distress and improving achievement amongst students, students at the heart of curriculum design, and students as partners in a transformed university. Further details about last year’s programme, and the mini case studies, are available here on the HEA website.

 

The deadline for applications is Monday 2 December 2013. More information, including how to apply, is available on the HEA website.

 

The deadline for applications is 02 December 2013

 

Best Wishes

 

Chris Vincent

Administrator (Leadership and Strategy)

Promotion, process and policy 

The deadline for the new change programme on the theme of the reward and recognition of staff is 15 November 2013. This programme will support institutions to enhance and refine processes, policies and approaches concerning the recognition, reward and promotion of teaching staff. It will be distinctive since it not only draws on the latest international research on promotion, but for the first time the programme aims to facilitate international working between the UK and Australia through the format of a collaborative change programme.

Change Masterclass: Prepare for change

Wednesday 20 November, 10:00-16:00, National Railway Museum, York

Prepare for change is a practical, interactive one-day event designed for individuals with an interest in change in higher education at any level. This masterclass will be of value to both those involved in specific change initiatives and those wishing to develop their skills and capabilities in this area. It aims to allow participants to gain insights into how different institutions have addressed change-related issues and apply knowledge and tools to their own context. The event will help delegates take an analytical approach to assessing their readiness for change before planning and implementing change, thereby maximising the chances of success. More information about the event, including how to book, is available on the HEA website.
