  1. Credit bearing CPD? An Academy Perspective Helen Thomas Assistant Director

  2. Think about CPD broadly • CPD within the context of HE • Implications of the UK PSF for CPD • Challenges/tensions

  3. What is CPD? • What is CPD for?

  4. CPD is • Ongoing • focussed on the individual • Impacts on practice • Is a professional value

  5. UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in HE (UK PSF) Three standard descriptors (SD) SD 1&2 Individual demonstrates • Understanding of the student learning experience • Ability to engage in practices … • Ability to incorporate research, scholarship and/or professional practice … Into the areas of professional activity

  6. SD3 • Individual • supports and promotes student learning through mentoring and leading • Incorporates research, scholarship and/or professional practice • Into the areas of activity

  7. UK PSF has a focus on • the individual • reflection • relating activity to practice and • on the integration of scholarship and research into practice

  8. Some conclusions (1) CPD • focuses on the development needs of the individual - where they are coming from and where they need to get to • should impact on the practice of the individual – outputs are as important as inputs • Needs to be recorded meaningfully

  9. Some conclusions (2) CPD • Not time bounded Not a question of e.g. 30 hours a year Not for one year or two Continues over whole career • Not activity bound Not a set or one or two courses Not characterised by numbers credits Not about gaining qualifications (at least not necessarily)
