Dear Colleague

Supporting Higher Education in College Settings

A new professional development award from SEDA

This new award aims to support all practitioners – managers, teachers, and educational developers – working in college higher education, including further education colleges, university partnerships and private providers.

The course is informed by current developments in the sector, and led by Dr Angus Carpenter and Dr Becky Turner, both leading figures in the field. It aims to bring practitioners together from across the country, working in a range of roles, and to provide the space to reflect on the reality of working in this diverse and dynamic sector.

The course will explore themes relevant to the provision of HE outside of university settings, including research and scholarly activity, mechanisms of reviewing and enhancing teaching and learning, HE pedagogies and vocational HE.

As part of the course participants will have the opportunity to explore new pedagogic practices and develop future research plans / funding proposals. Through the course participants will develop a reflective portfolio, which can provide the basis for an application to the UKPSF through the HEA.

The course is run entirely on-line, with six formal sessions in twelve weeks.

When? The course will run from 28th September until 18th December 2015.

Cost: £550
