Invitation: HERDSA Mentoring and Coaching Support for Career Advancement (MACS 2024) EOI
3 May 2024

Are you planning to apply for a promotion or a new job? If you are, you are invited to participate in HERDSA’s upcoming mentoring and coaching initiative to support you achieve your next promotion or next academic appointment in a new role/position.

Academics and academic support staff are facing ever-changing, demanding working conditions. Early career women, in particular, must balance the challenging demands of their personal and professional lives. Many have young families, and some are also engaged in pursuing higher degrees with the imperatives of teaching and research. Women academic migrants who have migrated from their home countries no longer have extended family support they had in their home countries. They find themselves in a highly competitive culture and must learn how to navigate the ‘system’ and are expected to perform at higher levels than their colleagues.

The MACS 2024 program will be co-led by HERDSA President, Prof Kogi Naidoo, and 5 of 13 successful alumni from the inaugural MACS program (A/Ps A/P Katelyn Barney Linda Ng and Drs Tracey Ahern, Jasvir Kaur, Judith Norris). The MACS 2024 program is limited to a maximum of 15-20 participants. The program is designed around participants’ goals and will include online individual/group mentoring and coaching sessions commencing in late May 2024 (screening of EOIs, creation of coaching groups). Participation and time commitment is not negotiable (Up to 2 hours per month for 6 months). The formal MACS 6-month program and coaching will begin in June/July 2024.

For further information and to nominate/submit an EOI for the MACS 2024 program contact Kogi via email: drkoginaidoo@gmail.com. Closing date for nominations is Wednesday, 1 May 2024. Further information: drkoginaidoo@gmail.com

What is good practice in academic development? CAULLT webinar
Friday 12th April 2024 12PM

Academic development activities have now been researched for decades, but what has not yet been clearly established are the standards that define good practice in this field. Drawing on the outcomes of a systematic series of CAULLT funded initiates, which have focussed on advancing academic development, we will share our research on establishing criteria and associated standards for assessing good practice in academic development.

This workshop will enable academic developers and institutional leaders to contribute to the validation of the new standards. It will be of particular value to academic developers who are creating innovative initiatives for their institutions and to institutional leaders who are involved in quality assurance and enhancement processes. Upon validation the standards will become available to enable the benchmarking of institutional academic development practices, to evidence the value of existing and proposed initiatives, and to inform robust decision-making around prioritising and resourcing academic development initiatives.

Participants in the workshop will:
Gain insights into the action research process employed to determine what is good academic development practice;
Engage in an activity on assessing good practice examples;
Discuss the complexities of determining good practice;
Critique and contribute to the validation of the criteria and standards of good academic development, and
Identify how the standards can be applied to their institution and practice.

Facilitators: Associate Professor Marina Harvey (MQ), Professor Jillian Hamilton (QUT), Dr Andrea Adam (UTAS).

Gathering Effective Feedback

Dear Colleagues,

Due to my over 18 years of experience as an educational developer, I know that colleagues do not always have the time and resources to continually develop and update resources for instructors at their institutions. Therefore, I have developed this free resource: Your Comprehensive Guide to Gathering Effective Teaching Feedback: When, How, and What.

Please sign up for the guide and you will receive weekly follow up emails with further information about gathering teaching feedback. Feel free to forward this email to all instructors on your campus, including graduate students, postdocs, adjuncts, and sessionals, so that they can take advantage of the guide and series of emails. If you are an educational developer and do not want to sign up for the follow up emails, please let me know and I will send you the guide for your own use.

Your Comprehensive Guide to Gathering Effective Teaching Feedback: When, How, and What
Are you a passionate educator seeking to elevate your teaching methods to the next level? The key to honing your skills lies within the invaluable feedback of your students and colleagues. This guide will empower you with the knowledge and tools to gather actionable feedback from students and colleagues – feedback that will help you refine your teaching practices and skyrocket your effectiveness in the classroom.

Get this comprehensive guide to help you seamlessly navigate the process of obtaining and using feedback to fuel your professional growth and excellence.
