The SALT CPD Framework is pedagogically driven and underpinned by evidence. It is mapped to the HEA UKPSF and will incorporate Open Digital Badges where possible.
Its aims are to:
- Support all staff to continually improve the quality of teaching
- Offer a programme of professional development activities for all staff
- Set expectations in relation to professional development
- Develop and support a wide range and broad definition of CPD
- Improve the quality of the student learning and outcomes for students
It is made up of the following main elements:
Conference and Seminar / Workshop Programme
Our annual conference is always one of the highlights of the SALT calendar. You can see this year’s conference web site by clicking here.
Or find links to previous year’s conferences here.
This year will also be seeing the return of the SALT seminar programme, which will be themed on the 7 Characteristics of a Good Teacher (click here for details).
Open Door Teaching
Open door teaching is a CPD approach pioneered at Curtin University in Western Australia, which is now being developed here at Swansea.
It is a collegial approach to sharing excellent teaching practice, by simply watching good teachers teach and talking to them about it afterwards.
PGCert for New Teaching Staff
The Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching in Higher Education has been housed in SALT for two years and we are just about to start with our third cohort of students.
Swansea Application Route for HEA Fellowship
The accredited Swansea in-house Application Route (SAR) for HEA fellowship has been running for two years and has resulted in a fourfold increase in fellowship numbers. Swansea now has over 300 fellows and is on upwards trajectory !
