This 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 Eve Rapley with support from Jonathan Simmons, both of whom have made a significant contribution to 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 provide participants with a chance to explore:
Participants will produce a portfolio focusing on meeting their own continuing professional development needs, and centred on a series of reflections, case studies, and an action research plan aimed at enhancing an aspect of professional practice.
The course is run entirely on-line, with six formal sessions in twelve weeks. Each session has been designed to be studied for approximately six hours per fortnight with course readings, activities and discussions, but this varies from person to person and you may find you spend more time in some weeks than others. You will be provided with support materials for each session, and a core text, which is included as part of the course fee:
