Personal Tutoring and Academic Advising: A joint CRA and SEDA - PDA Award

Third Cohort 2017/2018 Academic Year

A National Award, delivered by the CRA, accredited by SEDA, and mapped to the UKPSF.   

This award has been developed to address a national demand for the continuing professional development of higher education staff in the field of Personal Tutoring and Academic Advising.  Intended for those who are involved in personal or academic tutoring of students in post-compulsory, adult education and HE settings, the provision aims to:

• Develop enhanced professional practice in personal and academic tutoring.
  
• Encourage a student-centred approach to personal and academic tutoring.
  
• Explore the theory, concepts and practices involved in personal and academic tutoring.
  
• Support participants in dealing with issues they face in their role in relation to personal and academic tutoring.
  
• Foster a critically reflective approach to tutoring practice.
  
• Promote a scholarly, research-informed and evidence-informed approach to personal and academic tutoring.
  
• Enhance participants skills to support, coach and develop others as personal and academic tutors.
  

As with other SEDA Awards, it supports professional engagement with the implementation of enhanced practice in evidence informed ways, and in the presentation of the learning and outcomes from this in the form of a Portfolio for accreditation.
