The Curriculum Development team is a group brimming with diverse expertise in teaching and learning across the HE sector and beyond. Collectively, we support and deliver the University's Education Strategy through development, implementation, and day to day management of the Curriculum Transformation project and other University priorities. We work collaboratively with colleagues campus-wide, research, prepare and disseminate a variety of resources, and offer specialist advice aligned with best practice in pedagogy and the guiding themes and principles of the institution.

SEApower: Navigating Student Engagement in Curriculum Transformation

CLT Student Engagement Ambassadors, Curriculum Development Team, and Student Engagement Team

Poster presentation at RAISE Special Interest Group meeting, University of Westminster, January 2019

The University of Bath’s Student Engagement Ambassadors represent an innovative attempt to engage students as active partners in their education. The Ambassadors are current students employed and co-managed by the Students’ Union and Centre for Learning & Teaching. The poster charts the opportunities and challenges experienced by the SEAs as they have attempted to establish partnerships with key communities through meaningful interactions that build upon and extend existing understandings of student engagement activity.

Diversity for Everybody, Achievement for All, Patterns Not Labels

Ivan Newman, Christina Healey, Abby Osborne & Vivien Newman

NADP Journal of Inclusive Practice Issue 10, Winter 2018. (pp.80-105)

The paper builds on the authors’ experiences of supporting disabled students to suggest specific teaching adaptations which might benefit the whole cohort’s diverse learning needs. The authors offer ideas for mainstreaming what have up to now been specialist teaching techniques by identifying and responding to patterns of difficulties common across student cohorts and moving away from delivering largely individualised support, defined by somewhat arbitrary labels - linguistic, cultural, social or disability.
