A reminder that open consultation on the emerging Professional Development Approach for those who teach in Higher Education (the document open for consultation is available here) will close on Tuesday 5th April. If you have not done so already, the National Forum would appreciate any feedback from you individually, your colleagues and/or your Network/Disciplinary group. Please submit your feedback/comments to [email protected] or through the online feedback facility on the website available here
The main points for feedbacks are: 

• To what extent do the 5 domains identified validly represent the expectations for the knowledge and expertise of those who teach in higher education?
  Please consider the wording that could be used to describe the learning phases. Remember they are not hierarchal.
• Have you any suggestion for additions or changes to the current elements (statements)? Elaborate on why this is the case.
• What other questions could be included in each domain to guide and differentiate those in different learning phases as they reflect?
• Are there any resources that you are aware of, or currently using, which you would recommend for inclusion as resource relating to elements of the domains?
• Please review Appendix 3. Do you think this view of scholarship captures the breadth and diversity of scholarship in teaching and learning? Are there other ways to do this? Are there other examples that should be included?
