Introduction
Academic Professional Development (APD) offers ongoing evaluation, examination and enhancement of learning, teaching and assessment practices.
At Coventry University Group we have developed an Academic Development Framework that guides our staff that teach and/or support teaching through the multitude of opportunities for their academic professional development. We consider that professional development starts from looking inwards (reflect) before we can look outwards for developmental opportunities.
At Coventry University group, our provision of Academic Professional Development activities comes in a wide range of forms and includes opportunities for Exploration, Participation and Sharing.
Our website provides a wealth of information for your development:
- Consider exploring the Development Narratives, that offer a starting point for exploring role-specific academic development opportunities.
- Identify workshops and training events through our Academic Development Opportunities page.
- Engage with our Sharing Practice Opportunities, that include our Communities of Practice, Nanoconferences and more.
To make things easier for your navigation we have organised our academic development resources and opportunities around six themes.
Those are:
- Inclusive Practice and Self and Others' Wellbeing,
- Learning Design,
- Teaching Practice,
- Assessment and Feedback Practices,
- Sharing Practice and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning,
- Leadership and Management of HE.
