The Professional Standards Framework (2023) and ASUrise
It is possible that you are familiar with Fellowship in its 2011 version and wonder what the difference is between it and the new Standard. In outline, the PSF 2023 builds on the strengths of UKPSF (2011) but places more overt emphasis on:
โ the effectiveness and impact of teaching and/ or the support of learning;
โ the context in which the teaching and/ or the support of learning takes place;
โ inclusivity โ both from the perspective of the wider range of staff now able to engage with the PSF and how more inclusive approaches ensure all learners feel respected, valued and have equity in opportunity to succeed.
As such it aligns with the Universityโs strategic priorities, which like the PSF place emphasis on:
โ the effective use of digital/technological tools,
โ professional values,
โ support for students and
โ collaboration.
The PSF identifies components of successful teaching and the support of learning. These are expressed in the Dimensions of the Framework and the Descriptors (see Figure 1 below).
