Fellowships are awarded based on evidence of personal professional practice that meets the requirements of the Professional Standards Framework 2023 (PSF 2023), the teaching and learning standards framework for the higher education sector. We can support your institution to embed the PSF 2023 and develop communities of practice that have the agency to lead on institution-wide teaching and learning strategies and practice. By investing in the PSF and Fellowship, institutions have reported:
- improved world rankings metrics (e.g. QS Academic Development Rating)
- an improved profile of teaching and learning across the institution
- encouragement of collaboration to enhance teaching and learning across disciplines, subjects, faculties and between institutions
- increasing scholarship and research in teaching and learning
- improved student retention
- improved student experience data
- improved student engagement and outcomes scores.
