This is a course on the FBMH Academic Development Programme, welcome to all colleagues within the Faculty. In this session we will focus on demystifying the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), and how and why it can be seen as a tool for driving teaching enhancement and improving the experience for all our students.
The precise content for the session will be driven by attendees’ preferences, areas they wish to focus on, but is likely to include consideration of the criteria (“aspects”) and data (“indicators”) that go into producing the TEF, the outcomes, as well as where anyone can find the TEF data for their own local area. Attendees will look at data for their local area and consider actions that can be taken in light of them.
We will explore the “golden threads” in the institution’s 2023 submission as well as plans for the 2027 submission, and discuss how attendees’ current and planned practice can support these strategic aims.
