Abstract:

The UK Professional Standards Framework for Supporting Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (PSF) was developed by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in 2011, and alongside the descriptors for the D1 (Associate Fellow), D2 (Fellow), D3 (Senior Fellow) and D4 (Principal Fellow) categories, it is used as a tool to assess applications for HEA Fellowship. The PSF continues to underpin our Advance HE accredited TeachBU programme through which both academic and professional services staff can apply for fellowship in an appropriate category (D1 to 3). To assist academic staff to recognise the relevance of the PSF, BU embeds its principles across the university some of which are detailed here.
