Senior Fellowship
To achieve Senior Fellowship with Advance HE, an applicant must demonstrate knowledge and skills supported by evidence of impact in all of the following areas of activity:
- designing, planning learning activities or programs of study
- teaching or supporting learning
- assessing and giving feedback
- developing effective learning environments and student supports, and,
- continuing professional development incorporating scholarship.
Senior Fellows are required to demonstrate knowledge not only in their discipline but also in teaching learning and assessing that is informed by theories and principles of how adults learn and supported by appropriate technologies. Fellows need to explain processes they use to evaluate their practice and how this evaluation informs continuing improvement in teaching leading to quality enhancement in learning in their context.
Senior Fellows demonstrate respect for diverse learners and promote access to higher education providing learning resources and processes that are inclusive and equitable. Senior Fellows engage in scholarship and inform their teaching with research-based evidence linked to the discipline, the profession and teaching and learning.
In addition, Senior Fellows can evidence an integrated approach to academic practice through sustained and effective incorporation of subject and pedagogic research, continuing relevant professional development and successful coordination, support, supervision, management and/or mentoring of others (whether individuals and/or teams) in relation to learning and teaching.
