Professional Development
Fiona Campbell
This page will be a regular feature in the new-look tfj and aims to provide links to projects, sessions and initiatives of interest to you. Professional Development and the Teaching Fellow Scheme already enjoy a close working relationship through session facilitation, conference contribution and project development, and we hope this page will help that to continue to flourish.
Professional Development Programme: tailored provision.
The Professional Development Programme 2011-12 aims to provide participants with a range of learning opportunities to facilitate the enhancement of academic practice, to promote innovation in academic provision and to underpin researcher development across the University. This academic year, we are extending our tailored professional development with the balance of our provision moving from University-wide to customised provision by bringing you sessions focused on the aims and priorities of your Faculty, School, subject group, programme team or specific academic role. These sessions, run at a time and location that suit you, aim to meet your particular needs and can either be developed as new sessions or can be adapted from either the University-wide sessions or the growing menu available on our website. To launch this provision, we are offering each Head of School six hours of tailored development for their area this trimester which can be allocated to any type of development that meets current or future academic needs. For further information about these opportunities and how to arrange them, visit tailored professional development at:

The Programme Leading project
This ongoing project is being led by Teaching Fellow Fiona-Jean Howson, on part-time secondment to Professional Development from the School of Nursing, Midwifery & Social Care. The project aims to enable the development, support and recognition of Programme Leaders, to add clarity to the Programme Leader role and facilitate the growth of the Programme Leader community. Fiona-Jean writes:
“I very much appreciate the contribution Teaching fellows have already made to the project though membership of the Programme Leading Working Group, involvement in university wide and local developmental and community events. Please visit the Programme Leaders new website to find out more about the project and contact me if you are keen to get involved. Following on from the very successful evening event for Programme Leaders held on 22 September, I very much hope you will be able to participate in and contribute to the Programme Leader Symposium which will take place on the morning of Friday 6 January.”
The Edinburgh Napier Radio Show
This Teaching Fellow project, led by Courtnay Mcleod and managed and delivered by Colin Gray, aimed to use radio as a platform to engage with staff. Colin writes:
“The radio show project sought to provide staff with quick and easy access to news and professional development in a new and engaging way. The show offers colleagues the opportunity to learn about new developments in technology enhanced learning, share ideas on teaching and learning and to contribute to debates and discussions in this area. Four radio shows were provided on a bimonthly basis and covered a wide range of LTA issues, discussing relevant and timely HE developments, highlighting interesting work from within and outside the University, and showcasing and promoting Teaching Fellow activities. Although the project has now concluded (project report available here: http:/

Professional Development Events
Most Teaching Fellows will know Fay Wilson as she is the first point of contact in discussing bookings for events and a well kent face on the conference registration desks. With the move to HR Connect, Fay has been creating event information and booking details on the new system which is due to go live with piloting in some Schools and services in mid October. The only difference you should notice once your own School is involved is the ability to manage your booking online within the HR Connect system – HR will be offering full training! But if you experience any difficulties or want to speak to a real person, please contact Fay by email or phone.
