The Academic Staff and Leadership Development (ASLD) unit within the Centre for Teaching and Learning strives to increase innovation and excellence in the teaching and learning practices of academic staff. ASLD has two distinct foci; providing development opportunities to academic staff and nominated leaders who form part of the Academic Leadership Programme (ALP). Several developmental and training interventions are provided through a range of platforms, from workshops to individual consultations.
Main interventions offered by the ASLD include:
- Orientation for newly appointed academic staff
- Teaching and learning-related developmental courses focusing on assessment, curriculum design
- Teaching practices and professional and career management
- The Excellence in Teaching and Learning awards which reward innovative teaching practices at the UFS, as well as
- Continuous consultation with, and development of, nominated Heads of Department and potential future university leaders through the Academic Leadership Programme. For more information please contact us.
