3. A mentoring/coaching model to promote the
articulation of leadership
In September 2017, the University of Kent gained accreditation from the
Higher Education Academy (HEA) to develop provision and assess Claims for
Senior Fellowship (D3) of the HEA through a mentoring approach using a
coaching technique.
The Route for Recognition for Experienced Staff (RRES) supports participants to
develop and enhance their professional practice, particularly educational
leadership.
The technique adopted with colleagues entailed a focused mentoring
conversation on their ‘leadership’ based on the GROW (Goals, Reality, Options
and Will) model (Whitmore, 2009).

4. We worked with colleagues across the university,
Senior Academic
One of the first things I did was to amend my CV to use the
SFHEA post-nominal letters, because I think it’s important,
particularly in a research-intensive environment, it’s important
to show that we value and that I personally value being a
Senior Fellow of the HEA.
Professional Services
I think I now have a perspective[which] has definitely given me
confidence and that confidence will help me take on more
responsibility and that responsibility will enhance learning and
teaching and leadership.

5. Identify features of leadership in their practice or
the practice of others.
Consider the values of the UKPSF in your role.
Goal How could you support your staff to meet increasing challenges in
HE/FE and to recognise how their leadership may enable them to
meet these challenges?
Reality. What are you experiencing? What have you already tried?
Options What are the obstacles in your way? What are your options?
Will What are/were your next steps, what could you do now based
on this?

6. Feedback
