Editor's Notes
- #3: CELT has developed Launchpad and Stage 1 of the LTA framework to support all teaching staff in creating learning experiences that are inclusive and engaging for students.
- #5: There are 10 categories in the framework, . During the development process these categories were determined as key to describing excellence in LTA at UEL. The first 7 are under Development and/or Implementation of, the last 3 categories are related to feedback, research and personal development. These categories will be consistent across all stages of the framework –what changes are the expected standard of activity at each stage. In this current form we have launchpad and stage 1. The message is that we want to create and a nuture a culture of inclusive and authentic learning and teaching. The standards have been reviewed and aligned to the level of experience and responsibility that academics have within UEL.
