Academic Staff Development Programme (ASDP)

Interactive Workshop for Educators: Ideas and Practices for Experiential Teaching and Learning from the Stanford d.school

Sarah Stein Greenberg is the executive director of the Stanford d.school and leads a community of designers, faculty, and other innovative thinkers who help people unlock their creative abilities and apply them to the world.

Inspired by Sarah's book 'Creative Acts for Curious People: How to Think, Create, and Lead in Unconventional Ways', this afternoon session will delve into inspiration as well as practical ways of conceptualising learning and teaching that spark curiousity and engages with our Graduates Attributes.

The Academic Staff Development Programme (ASDP) is a series of focused, bite-sized workshops designed to equip, support and develop members of academic staff and research staff who teach.  Each workshop is offered once per semester / academic year, and draws upon the knowledge, experience and expertise of staff from a variety of schools and units across the University. ‌The ASDP is designed to complement the guidance and mentoring provided within Schools, where appropriate discipline-based support can best be given.  All workshops that are currently live and available for booking are hyperlinked directly to the University online booking system (PDMS).   We are currently reviewing and expanding our offerings for the ASDP, with new workshops being added throughout the year, so please be sure to check back every so often. Please also check the ASDP page within the CEED website to view our full range of ASDP teaching workshops.

Academic Review meetings - personal development

At each of your Academic Review meetings, your Head of School (HoS) will discuss your personal development with you.  During these meetings, you will have the opportunity to highlight and discuss the workshops you would like to participate in.   Once agreed with your HoS, please book your place on the workshop(s) using the University online booking system (PDMS).

The ASDP offers dedicated workshops explaining the Academic Review Development Scheme (ARDS) in more depth. The workshop will cover both the roles of a reviewer and a reviewee of the scheme, highlighting ways in which you can prepare for the meeting and how to respond to different scenarios that may occur during the meeting.

Contribute your knowledge and experience through the ASDP

Passionate about being an academic? Would you welcome the opportunity to share your passion and expertise with others?

Most of our workshops are delivered 'in-house' by staff who have experience & knowledge in specific areas.  We welcome new ideas / topics that can help support and develop academics, and are always looking to increase our pool of facilitators to deliver workshops.
