Reflective practice

Encouraging Teaching Innovation - Penny Harris and David Vance - Faculty of Creative Arts
The Innovations Committee, an informal sub-committee reporting to FEC, has the brief to translate contemporary teaching approaches and methods into teaching practice. It takes an issue such as collaboration or inter-disciplinarity and examines models for delivering these learning experiences within current structures. An outcome is continual review of the structures and their relevance.
