EARLY BIRD DEADLINE EXTENDED UNTIL FRIDAY 19TH APRIL
We are celebrating 20 years as the professional association for those who lead and support educational change. SEDA has made a significant impact on developments within Higher Education in the UK and abroad. We will share the evidence and impact of SEDA’s contribution at a specially themed Spring Teaching, Learning and Assessment Conference and Symposium followed by a black-tie Gala Dinner.
Values and Impact: Past, Present, Future
Our 20th anniversary celebrations culminate in two linked events at the Leeds Marriott on 17th and 18th May.
The first is our Spring Teaching, Learning and Assessment Conference on Friday 17th May with its theme Changing Values in Higher Education. You can find the full programme here.
On Saturday 18th May our anniversary Symposium provides an opportunity to reflect in depth on SEDA’s contribution to Higher Education teaching and learning.
Current and former SEDA chairs will share with delegates ideas about educational development from the last 20 years that continue to excite us.
Follow this link for full details of the Symposium.
Both will celebrate past achievements, examine their impact in the light of current developments and address the issues educational developers are likely to face in the future.
A special 20th Anniversary Gala Evening will be held on the Saturday.
What’s on in Leeds? There will be details of performances, events, tours and dining opportunities for delegates who wish to make a ‘weekend of it’ in one of the UK’s most vibrant cities.
Package deals available: You can book each of the events individually or together as a package.
THE CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE FRIDAY CONFERENCE IS NOW CLOSEDThis year’s Spring Conference, to be held at the Leeds Marriott Hotel, takes place as SEDA celebrates its 20th birthday. The Conference will focus upon ‘Changing Values in Higher Education’. Values underpin all our work, be they personal, institutional, professional or national values. SEDA has a set of [INTERNALLINK=43]values[/INTERNALLINK] which are central to its work and to the practice of those engaged in educational development. With the changes that have happened in education over the last few years in particular it is felt timely to consider the role of values and how they can be employed to enhance our work and practice. Contributors are invited to submit proposals that address the topic, within one of the themes, below. Proposals could address a variety of questions under each theme, such as:
