Event Types
Specialist Events
Within our events calendar we offer several different types of events. These are designed to bring you different benefits, and offer a wide range of events to as many people as possible.
These events are offered in conjunction with our various Special Interest Groups. These professional interest groups helps us to share knowledge and good practice within the HE sector. We bring together experts in specific areas and those with a more general interest, resulting in interesting and practical themed events.
CPD Framework...
One Day Workshops
AUA professional development events are all individually mapped against the AUA Continuing Professional Development Framework. The Framework offers a model of professional behaviours, developed through an extensive investigation project. It builds on best practice in the HE sector and elsewhere and draws on National Occupational Standards to provide a clear steer on key and valued behaviours.
The One Day Workshops offer a single themed day, with various speakers bringing a different perspective on a topic. We offer workshops on topics that are current and relevant within the sector and enable you to keep up-to-date with the latest developments.
The Framework provides benefits for individuals, institutions and the higher education sector. The professional behaviours framework helps individuals to: • Identify the behaviours that are relevant to their job • Identify their personal CPD needs • Develop those behaviours and improve performance • Identify ways to build upon and maximise existing strengths • Seek structured feedback from others • Provide structured feedback to colleagues To find out more please visit www.aua.ac.uk
One Day Conferences The One Day Conferences are multithemed, and take place in various regions across the UK. There will be several One Day Conferences taking place this year, which all showcase local talent, new innovative sessions and also take the best parts of our Annual Conference around the country.
