| Overview | Find out about the new Professional Standards Framework (PSF), how this has changed and what impact this has on those with fellowship and those involved in supporting colleagues with fellowship applications. This online session is a brief overview with Q&A opportunity. It is supported by a short Moodle course: https://moodle.essex.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=18411
All staff are strongly recommended to attend this awareness session whether you are a new applicant, assessor, for direct application, or a mentor of a colleague who is currently going through fellowship PG CHEP. In addition, Faculty Deans, Heads of Departments/Schools, Directors of Education and colleagues involved in education delivery and excellence are very welcome to attend.
You may be aware that in January 2023, Advance HE launched the revised PSF for teaching and supporting learning in HE. The PSF has become a globally recognised framework for benchmarking success within HE teaching and learning. The PSF 2023 builds on the strengths of the current PSF while placing much more overt emphasis on:
• the effectiveness and impact of teaching
• the context in which the teaching takes place
• inclusivity – both from the perspective of the wider range of staff now able to engage with the PSF and how more inclusive approaches ensure all learners feel respected, valued and have equity in opportunity to succeed.
• with a greater emphasis on digital/technology, professional values, support for students, and collaboration, the revisions will ensure the PSF is fit-for-the-future and remains relevant and compelling wherever and however higher education teaching and learning are delivered.
As a University, we are transitioning from the current UKPSF 2011 to PSF 2023 during the academic year 2024-25, with our last panel under UKPSF 2011 planned for January 25. The next panel under PSF 2023 is planned for the autumn term of 2024-25 academic year. A firm date will be shared once confirmed. |
