Is this course right for me?
Target Audience: All staff who teach and/or support learning
In this session, Cathy will highlight some of her recent research in the UK and Sweden, to explore the strategic approaches different universities use to enhance teaching. On a more personal level, she will also share some of her experiences of trying to balance leadership approaches that focus inwards to nurture team members and develop team values and also focus outwards to try to build a more effective service supporting the enhancement of teaching and learning across the University of Edinburgh.
This interactive session is a great opportunity for colleagues at all career stages to deepen their thinking around strategic leadership and learn to translate this into practice
