Dear Iddo, It's not written up in an article yet, but we do have a publication I could send you setting out our Academy of Educators, which is set up along lines of co-production and co-creation you tend to see in student engagement efforts for teaching enhancement. Not dissimilar from a highly collegial approach which works well in our research minded institution, which relies heavily on peer evaluation and esteem. You could summarise the Academy as a community of fellows, recruited through a highly selective process (evidence of educational leadership required, impact evidence and academic leadership support). Alongside their existing role, Fellows join the Academy for three years, engage in research, practice exchange and investigation across the disciplines, whilst working towards policy development. The Warwick Academy has proposed new teaching promotion criteria which have now been implemented and led to a huge increase in applications (awaiting outcomes, but looking very promising!). Another new policy the Fellows got through were module evaluation (without the teaching performance questions and focused on learning instead). The next one is a new peer observation/ review scheme. There are also a lot of other outcomes and outputs of course, including increased esteem for teaching. Fellowships are now highly competitive and sought after (including by departments). For the Fellows is means great opportunities to learn, to contribute, but also to become visible, gain influence and recognition and access new opportunities affecting their careers. Between the approximately 80 Fellows (a highly diverse group in all senses), they hold about 140 formal governance positions within Warwick. The publication I mentioned is a booklet which sets out how the Academy works in more detail, and includes accounts from the Foundation Fellows (who set up the Academy) on how Academy Fellowship has affected their career and their departments. If you -or anyone else- is interested in receiving a copy, do let me know, and we'll send it on.
