ASDP teaching workshops

To book on any of the workshops please visit the Personal Development Management System (PDMS).

Teaching staff can access a suite of short, focused workshops on different teaching topics, delivered by St Andrews academics, for academics.  These workshops are part of the Academic Staff Development Programme co-ordinated by Organisational and Staff Development Service (OSDS). 

Teaching, design and delivery

Throughout the ASDP, we have aligned each teaching workshop with the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) by Advance HE. The professional values section is fundamental to all activities, so we have not provided a separate breakdown. Similarly, area of activity 5 (engaging in continuing professional development) is an ongoing requirement relevant to every stage of your career. Participating in any ASDP workshop will meet the A5 criteria of the framework.

Teaching design and delivery

Throughout the ASDP we have mapped each of the teaching workshops to the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) | Advance HE (advance-he.ac.uk). Please visit the website to read the full framework. The Professional Values section should underpin everything that you do during your time here, and therefore we have not highlighted a breakdown of this category. Similarly, Area of Activity 5 (engage in continuing professional development) is a continuous area that is relevant to every stage of your professional journey. Engaging in any part of the ASDP would satisfy the A5 criteria of the Framework.
