Summary

Staff and educational development, the systematic support for improving education and learning, has moved in recent years to center stage within further and higher education around the world--a phenomena reflected in the booming membership of professional development bodies. This book provides a detailed consideration of the fundamental issues in staff and educational development, analyzing the context in which it functions, the roles undertaken by practitioners, and also ways in which staff and educational development can be promoted and managed in senior and institutional levels, as well as on an individual basis. Written in an engaging, accessible style, it is rooted in practice, with a wealth of case study material and practical advice, the book covers areas such as: developing institutional policy and strategy for development; how professionals learn and develop; leading an educational development unit; programs in learning and teaching in higher education; areas of specialist expertise; and careerpathways.
