Mentorship, Leadership, and Research: Their Place within the Social Science Curriculum by Michael SnowdenEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 159 Pages | ISBN : 3319954466 | 5.33 MB
This insightful volume details the implementation and challenges of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), developed in the UK to ensure equal access to higher education for all social classes. It posits that a modern higher education institution requires a robust set of mechanisms - specifically mentorship, leadership, and research - to create high-quality teaching and learning. Noted contributors pose and answer key questions about the TEF in such areas as solution-focused teaching, mentoring for the job market, and social science curriculum development, using best practice examples in the field. These ideas and strategies carry great potential to improve the caliber of teaching and learning in universities, and with it, students’ social mobility.
