Learning and Teaching Strategy 2009-2013
Enable staff innovation and excellence
Our main objectives for this priority-area are to:
- Provide coherent, structured professional development opportunities
that enable staff to gain qualifications, credit and recognition in line
with their aspirations and institutional goals.
- Cultivate a community of academic practice that celebrates and
shares excellence and innovation in learning, teaching and scholarship.
- Support learning and teaching projects that seek to innovate and
enhance the student learning experience.
- Review the communications between academic departments and Student
Support that enable the institution to anticipate and respond to the
needs of students with particular learning needs and disabilities.
- Encourage staff to broaden their experience through interactions
with collaborative partner institutions and the wider HE sector, both
nationally and internationally.
- Recognise and reward individuals who make exceptional contributions
to teaching and supporting student learning.
