National Teaching Professional Standards
The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education is a flexible framework developed by the Higher Education Academy which uses a descriptor-based approach to professional standards.
The framework uses three standard descriptors to map roles and career stages of those engaged in teaching and supporting learning. The standard descriptors are underpinned by areas of professional activity, core knowledge and professional values.
National Teaching Professional Standards at King's
The College, through King’s Learning Institute, offers a range of professional development programmes and courses designed to help meet each standard descriptor:
Enhancing Academic Practice, the
Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice in Higher Education, and the
Postgraduate Diploma /
Masters in Academic Practice.
