This book demonstrates how university lecturers can document their impactful teaching and evidence their teaching achievements in the contemporary HE landscape.
It is an essential read for all lecturers who might need to evidence their achievements for academic development including job promotions and Advance HE fellowship. It includes:
- the kinds of evidence that might be sought
- analysis and evaluation of the different forms of evidence available and
- how individuals can develop a narrative of teaching impact.
It also provides institutions with a framework they can use to support staff in collecting and developing qualitative and quantitative evidence for teaching achievements.
Acknowledging the ever-increasing complexity of the teaching role within higher education, the book provides valuable support for individuals wishing to showcase their teaching and institutions looking to recognise and reward academic and professional staff.
