  10. Annotated CPD record: Such as … • participating in meetings, conferences and seminars • presenting internal seminars, such as the CPD programme • postgraduate study • discussion and networking • learning from students (feedback) • mentoring and supervision • peer supported review • updating, and delivery of teaching • critical review and preparation of teaching materials • reading and reviewing journal articles • secondment and work shadowing • consultancy activity • undertaking research and the presentation of papers • observing and reviewing teaching practice • extending range and scope of teaching practice • undertaking research ethics training • external examining.

  11. But that doesn’t change culture … does it?No but … • Student Support staff are submitting AFHEA for internal accreditation • Staff who have previously done the PGCert are now engaged in the FHEA reflective process • Staff with Leadership responsibility are engaged in developing their Senior Fellow application • PVC commitment to undertake Principal Fellow • And Heads of Department are saying “Why aren’t we using the annotated CPD at appraisal?”

  12. Comments from experienced staff • HEA Application?!It’s one of those things you do unwillingly- realise it was worth it- and will others to do it! • I began my application for HEA accreditation longer ago than I care to recall. It just seemed like too much effort, between the teaching and research activities, to complete, edit, reflect...and find two referees. But when I completed the process, to have others acknowledge my work, made this one of my most life enhancing experiences. • Going through the process of writing my HEA Fellowship application made me reflect on my journey, discipline my writing and realise how far I had come in understanding my teaching and learning.
