Education Development And Leadership In Higher Education: Implementing An Institutional Strategy (the Staff And Educational Development)

Education Development and Leadership in Higher Education In today’s highly competitive, globalized higher education market, higher education leaders and managers have to address such issues as widening participation, the potential of new technologies, quality assurance and quality enhancement to improve standards of teaching, learning and leadership. Education development has a central role to play in each of these areas and should be a core element in the strategic positioning of all higher education institutions. This book is packed with research and case studies on what education development can offer higher education. It draws from experiences of leading education developers worldwide and illustrates the numerous ways in which education development strategies, structures and processes can make a difference to an institution’s effectiveness and reputation. Education Development and Leadership in Higher Education provides insights to anyone with an interest in and responsibility for determining strategy within their institution – whether education developer, head of department, dean, pro-vice chancellor (teaching) or vice-chancellor.
