Finding Flow: Improving Student Experience by Improving Staff Experience; Fro...Association of University Administrators
In large and complex organisations, such as Universities, processes often evolve around our structures rather than being designed with a focus on understanding and meeting the needs of our end users. Loughborough University’s Change Team, established in 2013, works with colleagues across the organisation to review processes that cut across Schools and Professional Services and to improve the experience of our end users. Doing better for our end users often results in staff time savings which enable colleagues to focus their efforts on more value-add activities which better support the University’s strategic aims. In recognition of the success of a project looking at our employment and claims processes for bought-in University teaching, the Change Team and HR Team at Loughborough University received the following awards: • Times Higher Education Leadership and Management Award – Outstanding Strategic Planning Team • Midland HR Award – Most transformational HR/Payroll project Members of the Change Team will share Loughborough’s approach to process review and service improvement. An interactive activity, based on a real case study, will allow you to: walk in the shoes of someone learning how a process works in reality and not how Managers assume it is working; map the existing process effectively; analyse the process to identify failure demand, duplication and hand-offs which lead to long process times and end user dissatisfaction; and how to design out this waste to achieve a better outcome for end users and the organisation alike.

In April 2015 the University of Salford successfully implemented askUS, a new student-facing ‘one stop shop,’ taking just 14 weeks from project launch to service inception. Bringing together teams from three disparate locations with very different ways of working, the askUS project co-located a range of services including Finance, Visas & Immigration, Registration, Counselling & Wellbeing, Careers & Employability…and many more! The success of the askUS project was co-creating with students, and working with operational colleagues to design how the service should work, what it should look like and how it should feel. This session will explore our experiences of getting things done in just 14 weeks, including how we adapted existing building layouts and student systems, and how we changed our ways of working and dealt with any challenges.Save the Cheerleader!

While challenging to manage, the internship provided benefits like new insights and career outcomes for most interns.
Growing a culture of great teaching wellington 17
This document outlines strategies for growing a culture of great teaching at Durrington High School. It discusses six principles of great teaching distilled from educational research and the wisdom of expert teachers. The school implements various professional development strategies to build a shared understanding of these principles and support teachers in applying them, including INSET days, a staff blog, lesson observations, and subject planning sessions. The goal is to reduce variability in teaching quality and grow excellence by focusing on research-backed practices like scaffolding, modeling, questioning, and feedback. Preliminary results suggest the approach may be working as staff retention has increased in recent years.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
