Teaching, Learning and Assessment The Faculty of Education’s approach to teaching, learning and assessment is built around a concept of a learning entitlement for all students that includes: •
programmes that provide academic and professional challenge and which are underpinned and informed by research
•
explicit engagement that addresses learners’ academic and professional needs and develops their relevant skills and knowledge
•
a focus on learner centred approaches to teaching, learning and assessment
•
provision of a wide range of pedagogies designed to role model excellent practice and to promote effective learning opportunities
•
the effective integration of new and emerging technologies designed to enhance the learning potential of sessions, modules and programmes
•
assessment opportunities (formative and summative) that are equitable, consistent, transparent, time appropriate and closely aligned with aims and learning outcomes
•
comprehensive and effective feedback procedures that clearly articulate targets for progression and improvement
•
opportunities to develop teaching, learning and assessment techniques within a range of settings as appropriate to the programme of study.
