Staff and Educational Development

I was an academic developer at the University of Canterbury for over 15 years, and staff and educational development is one of my core specialties. I have worked extensively with teaching staff on all matters teaching and learning, assessment, pedagogy, curriculum and assessment design. I also have experience setting up systems at organisational level to support continuing development of (teaching) staff. Areas where I can provide expert advice are:

  • Professional development needs analyses.

  • Strategy and implementation of professional development of staff

  • Capacity and capability development for professionals becoming teachers / communicators of that profession

  • Design, delivery, and evaluation of staff training and development programmes

  • Mentoring of teaching staff

  • Strategy and implementation of quality assurance processes of assessment of prior learning, non-formal teaching, micro-credentials and short courses

  • Curriculum design and restructure at course, programme, and qualification level, including academic quality assurance processes

  • Academic review of programmes of study

  • The provision of workshops around teaching, communication, curriculum and assessment practices

  • Teaching observations and evaluations and design of peer observation of teaching protocols
