Meeting the demands of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF)

The Teaching Excellence Framework for HE comes into effect for the 2016/17 academic year.  

The higher education student cohort is becoming increasingly diverse and the traditional approaches to teaching, favoured by so many in HE are unlikely to deliver favourable TEF outcomes

All those working in Higher Education need to review their teaching practice and ask

  • is it really inclusive?
  • does it engage all students?
  • does it stretch and challenge all students?
  • does it deliver deeper learning?
  • does it encourage original thinking?
  • How will students rate the quality of teaching

Most Universities will need to look for ways to revitalise and re-energise their teaching and training delivery.

Encouraging lecturers and tutors to consider how they can make their lectures, seminars and tutorials more engaging with a greater levels of differentiation and focus on stretching and challenging all students is a good starting point.

Concrew Training's workshops on and around developing Inspirational Teaching and Using Stretch and Challenge to Embed deeper learning are a good starting point

Using Social Media at Work - Staff rights and responsibilities

Why you need a Policy NOW ! Two recent Employment Tribunal cases, one involving Face book and another one with Twitter have one clear message in common for modern employers – the urgent need to have clear up to date, precise policies and procedures in place about the use of Social Media at work. Both the cases profiled below could have been lost by the employer had they not previously taken proactive policy steps to keep up to date with an ever changing scene. Face Book The Face Book case arose from an unfair dismissal claim. The Employment Tribunal held that a pub manager was fairly dismissed for gross misconduct after she made inappropriate comments on Face book about two customers who had verbally abused and threatened her.   The Face Book chat took place while the employee was at work and did not reflect her upset or anger at the customers, but appeared to be a joke between friends.  However, a wider audience was able to look at her Face Book page, including r
