Strategy
2.1.2 Promoting Pedagogic Support within the University
On May 30th 2007, the General Board's Education Committee agreed to recommend to the General Board the establishing of a Pedagogic Support Officer who will better coordinate the efforts of central support and training providers (Staff Development, DRC etc.), improve the uptake of existing provision, and fund Faculty teaching initiatives and help Faculties make applications to external bodies for teaching funding. However, the proposal was not fully endorsed by the General Board. The General Board did in Academic Year 2007/8 establish a committee to Review the Learning and Teaching Support within the University.
The current CUSU Academic Affairs Officer has been approached regarding sitting on this committee, though the membership of this committee is yet to be fully finalised.
Ongoing Action: CUSU to continue to push for greater pedagogic support, through the Review of Learning and Teaching Support and in other relevant committees.
