Description

Background

The Government is introducing a Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) which aims to recognise and reward excellent learning and teaching. The Government has published the specification for the Year Two TEF and has asked HEFCE to implement it.

In late October, HEFCE will publish additional procedural guidance and will release TEF metrics to providers. We are also offering a series of briefing events, for all UK higher education providers that may wish to make submissions to the Year Two TEF.

Purpose

The briefings are an opportunity for staff and students to find out more about how the Year Two TEF will operate, how they can best prepare to participate, and to raise questions directly with the TEF team.

The briefings will cover:

  • Key deadlines

  • Eligibility requirements

  • An overview of contextual data and metrics[1]

  • Provider submissions

  • The assessment process

  • Systems and procedures for providers to take part

  • How students can be involved in the process.

Sessions will be interactive and discussion will be facilitated by members of the TEF team.

Given the importance of student engagement in the process, the events will include a session specifically designed for students to support their engagement in TEF.

Who should attend?

Each provider is invited to send two delegates to the briefing, as follows:

  • One staff member (ideally, but not necessarily, the main TEF contact)

  • One student representative (this could be a staff member of a students’ union or equivalent student organisation).

We will not be able to accommodate more than two delegates per provider, and will not allow providers to substitute the student representative place for a second staff member.

Slides used at the events will be made available for wider dissemination.



[1] These events will not cover the metrics in detail, and the events are not aimed at the TEF metrics contacts. There will be a separate webinar covering the metrics.
