In 2018 the CTI oversaw the creation of a Course Leader Forum for all Course Leaders at Westminster.<\/p>\n
The role of the Course Leader is a key role in developing innovative and high quality approaches to learning and teaching and enhancing the student experience. In recognition of this, Roland Dannreuther and The Centre for Teaching Innovation (CTI) ran a series of Course Leader Forum launch events in January and February 2018. Attendance was excellent with Course Leaders from all five Faculties present at one or more of the launch events.<\/p>\n
At the forum launches, Course Leaders discussed and provided feedback on the following three questions. Subsequently the feedback was collated and forwarded to the attendees and Senior Managers.<\/p>\n
- \n
- How can the University help to support you as a Course Leader?<\/li>\n
- What tools do you need to help you in your role?<\/li>\n
- What useful role can the Course Leader Forum play in supporting you?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The first Steering Group Meeting for the CL Forum, was held in July and identified the main priorities for Course Leaders. The Steering Group is now looking at how these priorities might best be addressed via events and networks and signposting to resources.<\/p>\n
The terms of reference for the steering group include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- To support the\u00a0career and\u00a0professional development of course leaders.<\/li>\n
- To promote internal networking amongst all\u00a0course leaders; build internal contacts and form relationships for future\u00a0sharing of best practice\/collaboration.<\/li>\n
- To provide a cross-Faculty\u00a0forum for all\u00a0course leaders\u00a0at\u00a0the University of Westminster and increase communication between\u00a0course leaders and professional services.<\/li>\n
- To\u00a0foster\u00a0continuous professional development\u00a0opportunities for course leaders so as to improve the quality and impact of\u00a0course leadership.<\/li>\n
- To\u00a0provide sources of information on the CTI website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
