Assessment, Learning & Teaching Reflections |
Monday 31 October
Festival reflections ran following the Staff Development Festival Fortnight for six weeks, giving colleagues across the university opportunities to reflect on the event. These concluded last Friday with a look-ahead to next year’s Festival Fortnight, running from 30th August-12 September. From today we are moving to create a series of reflections on Assessment, Learning and Teaching (ALT), in the spirit of ‘What Follows?’, to ensure that the Festival (building on feedback to get bigger and even better each year) links year-on-year into a programme of activities strongly focused on our core student-centred mission.
Nothing we do at Leeds Met is more important than ensuring effective student learning: these reflections will help us explore how best to incorporate cutting-edge approaches to assessment, learning and teaching into a re-energised curriculum that fully meets our students’ needs. Initial ALT reflections on what the ALT strategy really means in practice will be followed by reflections from Scheme, Course, Award, Programme and Level (SCAPL) Leaders, many of whom will be meeting at their SCAPL forum on Wednesday 2 November. Further reflections will follow from Teaching Fellows and others across the university, including (I hope) you! Contact me to contribute.
