Quality Assurance and Moderation
The IT@S panel will assure the quality of the decisions made
by the subcomponent panels through the moderation of the
following:
• A sample of the taught programme acceptances
• A sample of all outcomes from the SAR
IT@S Panel
SAR Panel
- Sample of accepts
- All clarification or return
outcomes
PGC HP Panel
- Sample of accept
outcomes

Future Plans
Responsibility for the
PG Cert teaching in Higher Education has moved to SALT
(Staff already enrolled will be supported to complete the
programme.)
A revised tHE will be offered (anticipated start of January
2016). Proposed final task will be to apply for HEA
Fellowship through the SAR approach.
To offer an enhanced range of CPD for experienced staff

of Evidence
Promoting Teaching: making evidence count (HEA, 2013: 10)
https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/resources/detail/recognition/making-
evidence-count-web
•Applications should relate to the positive impact
on student learning
•At D3 individual must show sustained record of
success/achievement
•Claims should evidence successful engagement
with appropriate dimensions of UKPSF
•Claims should not be based on role, job description
or status of individual
•Outcomes, impact and influence (and reflection of
evidence of same) much more important than role
activities per se 15
General Principles
The Swansea Assessment Criteria
The Fellowship Categories document describes the various
category requirements…BUT, submissions also assessed
against the general principles embedded within the
Swansea assessment criteria:
• Clear evidence of their impact on the student learning
experience
• A personal account, demonstrating their commitment to
learning and teaching
• A reflective account, demonstrating their actions in terms
of improving their teaching, learning or assessment
practice and/or impact on others
• For Senior Fellows – leadership of others in HE

D3.7 Successful coordination, support,
supervision, management and/or mentoring
of others (whether individuals and/or teams)
in relation to teaching and learning
At Descriptor 3, it is particularly important to
demonstrate how you know your practice has
influenced others, been effective and
generated impact.
This is the overarching descriptor and evidence
for this should be found across the application.
It is the essential distinguishing characteristic of
the Senior Fellow.
21
Exploration of 3.7
It is essential that Senior Fellows provide evidence of
having accessed and utilised external advice and
guidance based on educational scholarship and likely
that they themselves will be undertaking some kind of
research which may well (though this is not essential)
include research for publication in peer review journals.

Assessor Workload
• Each application allocated to a
‘set’ of two assessors
• Each application reviewed
independently by each assessor
• Hopefully no more than 5
applications to each ‘set’
• Senior Fellowship applications will
be allocated ‘more time’, so fewer
of these to review.
• Each assessor involved in 2 of the
4 deadlines
• Attendance at SAR Panel
• Can’t assess someone’s
application if you’ve mentored
them.
Assessor Review
• Areas of difference will be discussed beforehand.
• If no agreement, will be discussed at the SAR Panel
• An agreed recommendation and feedback comments will then
be recorded

Introduction to Pebblepad
Pebblepad is an e-portfolio software available
through home.swan.ac.uk
Used to support reflective learning
in the Swansea Employability Award
and, for example, in Health Science
modules which require reflection.
Why use Pebblepad
• Enables sharing of applications with
mentors/others for comment, with referees
and line managers without arranging a login.
• Enables ease of sharing with assessors and
electronic feedback for applicants
• Facilitates a robust administrative structure
and QA evidence for reporting
The online application
• Personal pronoun
• Emphasise the positive
• Where gaps are evident, make suggestions for
how the applicant might address these
• Be specific
• Make suggestions for future development
opportunities
• Don’t write anything that you would not be happy
for the applicant to see

Editor's Notes

  1. At Swansea, as outlined, we have a few ways in which staff can gain Fellowship of the HEA. Certificated routes through the PGCert teaching in HE or the PG Cert in Education for Healthcare professionals Experiential route – through a written or presentation submissions
  2. This figure includes those pursuing the taught programmes
  3. Swansea doesn’t offer internal application for D4, just D1- D3
  4. The differences between D1 (Associate Fellow) and D2 (Fellowship are outlined above.) D1 could be considered a subset of D2. Associate Fellows – 2 areas of activity – any two Depends on the person’s role as to what can be achieve. Non academic staff such as technicians, librarians, careers advisers, etc – because the particular activities they have means they don’t get sufficient evidence to qualify for all 5 areas of activities. and at least knowledge of K1 The subject material And K2 – Appropriate methods for teaching, learning and assessing in the subject area and at the level of the academic programme The breaking up of A1-A5 can be helpful, but also can be difficult. Relevant professional practices/research/scholarship and CPD in LTA and Assessment – these two are usually the ones causing the most problems, in both application and assessment. We don’t mean that you are the foremost research in the subject and a lot of pedagogical work. Scholarship to be the range of professional information and things I need to know to be able to carry out the job effectively. Show clip from E stream 16.57 – 20.58 Example of the technician in the computer lab and the relevant scholarship and also the accountant and tax laws See Chapter entitled ‘Examples of Scholarship and CPD” https://mrclabsestream.swan.ac.uk/view.aspx?id=5701~4n~NRVA9cmG&chapID=32
  5. It might mean they’ve been to a course/event It might means they had a corridor conservation about e.g. using flipped classrooms – that leads to someone reading up, looking at YouTube/TED talk – its about informing yourself It might involve trying out something you’ve seen at a conference – doesn’t mean you’ve actually read that person’s research and literature – termed ‘mediated scholarship’ to use in your own practice. References are nice, but not essential for these categories. This is vital to D3 – senior fellowship but not here. So, don’t assess using an academic referencing styles, with Harvard referencing its, its just evidence of external guidance in whatever form it might take.
  6. 1. What is the scope of that person’s activity and role, e.g. PhD who doesn’t have full areas of activity? 2. What's their sphere of influence? Who do they impact on? D1 and D2 – is primarily the student and their learning environment; maybe starting to influence colleagues We’ll show an excerpt from Vicky’s training outlining this from the perspective of the D3, Senior Fellow. 3. What’s the source of evidence Back to the 5 questions – What do I do How do I do it Why do I do it? How do I know its effective What might I do differently. Evidence- your own reflections, formal module evaluations, NSS, PRES, but also informal evaluations from students and also those emails you get such as ‘thanks so much for your support’ – don’t delete them – its unsolicited feedback.
  7. Applications need to demonstrate a positive impact on student learning – either directly through teaching or indirectly through supporting teachers For SF, There should be sustained evidence – approximately 5 years, not necessarily doing the same thing. E.g. I’ve mentored members of staff for 2 years, is that enough? No, not in itself, but have done other things, e.g.. chairing a special interest group.. Its the theme of leadership that’s important. Successful engagement with the UKPSF – what do I do, How do I do it, Why do I do it like that? Is it because of the student profile, subject matter, learning environment that you choose to do things in that manner. How do I know if its any good? What might you do differently? Just because you are a relatively junior member of staff/new to an institution, but have experience from your other HEI and are actively leading and influencing others, you could become a SF. Conversely, just because you may be a Professor of worked in HE for a long time, if you can’t evidence your impact on others, then SF is not applicable. Lots of applications seen by HEA assessors tend to focus on what the applicant does – a very descriptive account – and not give the reflection or rationale for why they choose to do things in that way. The problem with the Fellowship Category is that it implies hierarchical progression. Vicky Davies in Ulster is an Academic Developer and has Principal Fellowship - its because she has an institutional role, she’s an HEA assessors and consultant. Its about range and sphere of influence that is important.
  8. The category requirements are outlined in the A5 Handout BUT These are outlined at the end of the Word application and Pebble+ Applicant Checklist, they have the added General Principles that I’ve just spoken about as part of the Assessment Rubric.
  9. In groups look at the sample overviews for D1 and D2 and, using the criteria outlined for the fellowship categories make notes of what would you expect to see on the application for each as they stand, and what would your recommendations be for them to be successful at the level they have applied for.
  10. D3 is so broad. Need to demonstrate all the same attributes of D2 but with the addition of how my leadership influences all of the above. It is not something that is just stuck on the end, it must filter through each of the other areas od activity. There will be considerable variation in applications, reflecting differences in individuals’ experience, their job roles and institutional contexts. The reflective commentary and two case studies enable such diversity to be appropriately represented
  11. Show clip from Vicky Davies can be found on the HEA section of the SALT website https://salt.swan.ac.uk/fellowship-assessors/ https://mrclabsestream.swan.ac.uk/view.aspx?id=5702~4o~osjZKny4&chapID=31
  12. What were the leadership approaches that they took and what was the impact and how did they know. Be careful with postgrads as examples. You need to think about relationships, if they are discussing the group of post graduates in terms of them supervising, then that is learning and teaching. If they are using a postgrad as a co teacher, doing seminars then that is a professional relationship, that is mentoring of colleagues. The quality of the evidence is much more important than the quantity of examples provided
  13. Where is isn’t necessary for D2 it is essential for D3. with senior fellowship, it is more about “I am the influence”, so it is vital to demonstrate what the evidence based influence was that instigated what they are discussing. They could be illustrating some form of action research, where they identified a problem or area of improvement, they would then discuss the intervention that they put in place, all the time they would be reflecting on the processes involved, whilst referring to the evidence provided by relevant literature to support their ideas and methods. Not hard research, most likely to be AR but it could be publication. By publication is could just be dissemination, but could be evidence What is Action Research? AR is a practical approach to professional inquiry in any social situation. Here it relates to education and are therefore of particular relevance to teachers or lecturers engaged in their daily contact with students. But professional practice need not be teaching: it may be management or administration in a school or college, or it may be in an unrelated area, such as medicine or the social services. The context for professional inquiry might change, but the principles and processes involved in action research are the same, regardless of the nature of the practice.
