This year’s Teaching Forum attracted staff from across the University to hear more about, and explore further the new embedded graduate profile.
2017 saw Faculties develop embedded graduate profiles for each of their qualifications. This year, all disciplines across the University will address the six institutional themes and work towards embedding agreed capabilities into their curricula.
As teaching staff will be instrumental in helping students develop their capabilities through the University’s courses, we fundamentally explored two key questions, “What does the new Graduate Profile mean for my course?” and “What do I do to teach to the new Profile?”
See below for links to each of the sessions videoed at the event:
- Welcome and opening – Mark Smith and Jayne Godfrey
- Graduate profile and employability – Tim Watts
- Mapping the curriculum – Susan Geertshuis
- Teaching to the graduate profile: developing business communication capabilities – Ruth Dimes and Ailsa Deverick
- Teaching to the graduate profile: critical thinking – Rhiannon Lloyd
- Teaching to the graduate profile: social and environmental responsibilities– Andrew Eberhard
- Assessing the graduate profile – Raj Shekhawat
