Hi Sue,

Here at Warwickshire College Group we run a teaching and learning conference 3 times a year for HE course leaders and lecturers, which also allows staff to share good practice between departments. We also provide a manual (that includes a summary list of course leader responsibilities) and two half day training sessions. As we have fewer staff that teach a HE level than a University would, we train course leaders, module leaders and lecturers all together, which actually turns out to be quite helpful as this helps to clarify roles and responsibilities within a team.

I hope that is useful.

Kind Regards

Tanya

Subject: support for programme leaders in your institutions

Dear SEDA list members

At Lincoln we are reviewing and developing the support provided for programme leaders and wondered whether any of you would be willing to share examples of practice from your own institutions.

We are particularly interested in the following

1. The type of support provided for programme leaders (e.g. workshops, guidance documents)
2. Examples of handbooks or other guidance documents designed to support programme leaders in their role
3. Whether you have any sort of community (online or offline) to support programme leaders or whether support is managed locally

As always, I am happy to collate any responses and circulate them to the list.

Best wishes

Sue
