  1. Welcome! Professors in Preparation #ProfsInPrep

  2. #ProfsInPrep Dr Julie Hulme, Keele University: @JulieH_Psyc Dr Debbie Lock, University of Lincoln @DeborahALock Sponsored by Sheffield Hallam University Find us at OneHE.org

  3. Why #ProfsInPrep? “There are relatively few teaching-focussed staff in more senior positions who can review, mentor and support teaching staff; act as role models for junior staff who are seeking to develop a teaching/education career (Fung and Gordon, 2016); help individuals to collate a mix of quantitative and qualitative evidence that provides a clear sense of their teaching achievements” (McHanwell & Robson, 2018)

  4. Aims of #ProfsInPrep • To provide a supportive network of colleagues – peers and profs • To facilitate reflection on our own development, progression and aspirations, and help us to reach our goals • To create a ‘pipeline’ community

  5. Capturing evidence… • Previous event – we identified a need to generate a narrative: • A shop window display • A journey • “What will you profess in?” • Coherent theme, bringing together different strands of activity

  6. My narrative…

  7. Capturing evidence • Common themes, with variation between institutions; evidence relates to: • Reach (institutional, national, international, discipline?) • Impact – what difference did it make? (income, resources, student experience, influence others’ practices, influence practitioner education, pedagogic research, others?) • Leadership (mentoring, programmes, management, professional bodies?)

  8. Peer mentoring and discussion 1 • Take five minutes to reflect on your narrative – what do you profess in? • Take five minutes to reflect on your evidence – what is your reach, impact, leadership? • Jot down a few notes

  9. Peer mentoring and discussion 2 • In pairs – think about the evidence you have so far to make a claim. What evidence do you have of reach, impact, leadership? • Use an appreciative enquiry technique – take it in turns to find out about each other, 10 minutes each • What are your strengths and your weaknesses?

  10. Peer mentoring and discussion 3 • Join another pair and summarise your discussions so far, including relative strengths and weaknesses. • Summarise as a group – do you have areas in common? Do you have contrasts that are interesting between you? • Broadly, think about what could you offer to each other in terms of support within the group? (complementary strengths and weaknesses?) • Be ready to report back at 12 noon!

  11. Reflection and review • Take just 2 minutes to reflect on your own learning as an individual from the discussions • As a group, report back on the key themes that arose in your discussions • We’ll summarise for the whole group and for notes for OneHE • Over lunch…share your individual thinking with each other – can you find someone who excels at areas in which you’re weak, or areas in which you can support someone else? Find a buddy!!

  12. Action planning • This session is for YOU to decide what happens next – to plan your personal journey – work alone or in pairs or small groups to create a plan. • Remember – it might include finding a mentor, or reviewing a successful application from your institution, not just generating more outputs! • Personal strategy

  13. Plenary • What next for you? • What have you learned? • What advice would you give to your friend? • What else can #ProfsInPrep do? Can you help us??
