The key areas for discussion booklet supports staff and students working to enhance student retention and progression practices. Three key areas stimulate discussion in a systematic way: consideration of supporting and coordinating structures and process; identifying different types of evidence and their use; and examining how the first two areas influence practice in learning and teaching.
The guides will support you to use evidence in robust, rigorous and practical ways. From making local changes in response to student feedback, to developing new institutional strategies, these resources will support staff and student ambitions.
This resource has been adapted to support online use. The editable version of the planner enables staff and students to amend the planner to reflect the timespan of their projects/academic calendar and to type planning notes directly into the document.
