Editor's Notes
- Welcome
- There is however a minimum – 3 years on HE. When I refer to ‘Fellowship’ its generic and not specifically meaning the category of Fellow.
- Go through each one in turn. And click Give handout. Each of these dimensions has a number of sub-elements – 5 Areas of Activity, 6 Core knowledge and 4 Professional values Why is the UK PSF so Important? Foundational principles for you as a teacher in HE You need to demonstrate reflection and evidence against the UK PSF to apply for HEA Fellowship
- Mention the Supporting of research students Supporting student learning Indicative Activities
- The UK PSF underpins each of these categories. Additionally, there are specific features of each category which I’ll outline further. The extent to which they have to meet the UKPSF slightly varies.
- There are 2 routes available for ANY of the categories
- There are 4 application deadlines. No extensions. Applications can be moved between deadlines.
- You’ll also get a follow-up email with links to example of Pebble+ application etc.
