The GTA Programme is accredited by the Higher Education Academy (HEA), enabling students who have completed the two core courses and have sufficient experience to apply for Associate Fellow of the HEA, a professional recognition of their teaching. 

This course presents the new HEA’s Professional Standards Framework (PSF2023) which outlines the activities, core knowledge and professional values that should be demonstrated by those who are teaching in higher education and that need to be evidenced in the application.  

In this session, we will review the Associate Fellowship (AFHEA) application requirements for GTAP participants. A key element of this process is the ability of applicants to reflect on practice: participants will have the opportunity to review some examples of reflective writing and to consider how they might incorporate this style of writing in their own application.  

The course will also support participants to assess their practice and start planning their application for AFHEA to continue writing after the session. Students needing further support to complete their application can also attend the GTA Retreat, which offers quiet writing time, one to one support and peer feedback and discussions.

Learning Outcomes
