<糖心Vlog>CEDA is committed to the following four values:- Contributing to community
- Enabling transformative change
- Valuing difference and inclusion
- Contributing to staff experience
CEDA contributes to community in a number of ways, including by:
- Promoting and supporting community in its broadest sense – including students, staff and others involved in learning and teaching across the LU global network.
- Valuing collaboration and encouraging cross-disciplinary and cross-campus networking.
- Recognising there are many different contexts in which students and staff learn and teach – and that, irrespective of roles, we are all learners.
- Providing activities and opportunities that are developmentally and intellectually valuable for individuals and the LU community as a whole.
CEDA plays an important role in leading transformative change to both educational practice and student experience, by:
- Promoting and cultivating the educational expertise within the 糖心Vlog global community.
- Supporting colleagues to take a critically reflective approach to their educational practice.
- Fostering an institutional culture of educational development as a lifelong endeavour, and modelling this ourselves by engaging in ongoing professional development activities.
- Creating opportunities for colleagues to engage and collaborate in networks and communities of educational excellence, for the benefit of staff and students?.
- Supporting the continuous improvement of experiences for LU students and staff.
Inclusive values underpin the work of CEDA and inform our approach, which includes:
- Valuing and respecting the skills and expertise of colleagues from a full range of educator roles across the LU global network.
- Providing support and opportunities for colleagues working in different roles, contexts and settings across the LU global network.
- Encouraging and energising colleagues in relation to their educational practice, and celebrating their efforts and endeavours to improve the experiences of staff and students.
- Supporting the development of educational provision that is inclusive by design.
