HEFi offers a diverse range of exciting opportunities for continuous professional development and recognition. Our futures-focused CPD invites academic and professional services colleagues across the University to come together, learn from each other, and share best practice in teaching and learning.
Our CPD includes our innovative cross-disciplinary peer observation scheme (the Open Classroom) and face-to-face events that explore evidence-based teaching practice. Opportunities for recognition include the HEFi Fellows and Scholars, and Advance HE. Take a look at what we have to offer below:
