Assessment, Learning & Teaching Reflections |
Monday 30 January, 2006
This week I will be showcasing in ALT reflections people who are having the opportunity over the next year to concentrate their energies on supporting the aims of the Assessment, Learning and Teaching strategy. Stuart Hirst and Julie Harpin took up the VC’s suggestion in his reflection 16 th September 2005 that we should support staff who wish to play a different role in the university and do something completely different for a year. He suggested that, for example, some administrators might like to become lecturers and some lecturers might like to become administrators, aligning with our university vision of striving to use ‘all our talents to the full’. Both start their new roles this week.
Ruth Pickford commenced on 26 th January a half-time secondment to build the assessment, learning and teaching resource that Clare Stoney initiated as the Learning and Teaching Academy (later called CaT&Lyst) which we’ve now agreed will simply be called ALT re-source. Liz Beasley too is starting a new role in the Carnegie faculty as Academic and Educational Developer with a cross-university as well as faculty ALT brief. Additionally, well-regarded author and workshop facilitator Phil Race starts as a part-time professor at Leeds Met from 1st February
