The UK Professional Standards Framework provides a means to comprehensively recognize and benchmark teaching and learning support roles in higher education. It describes the main dimensions of these roles, including areas of activity, core knowledge, and professional values. The framework has four descriptors outlining the characteristics of typical teaching and learning support roles, and a revised third descriptor facilitates recognition of senior fellows. The framework, developed by the Academy on behalf of the higher education sector, can be used to gain professional recognition, plan professional development, and promote teaching and learning quality.
