Bath Spa's annual Learning and Teaching Symposium is an annual opportunity to reflect, celebrate and look forward. We welcome the opportunity to share ideas with colleagues across the University and our educational partners, and we would love to hear about your learning and teaching experiences, innovations and research. The Symposium is typically hosted in July every year, and information for the next symposium circulated early in each calendar year. Further information is available from the Teaching Expertise Development team at TED@bathspa.ac.uk.
Centre for Policy, Pedagogy and Practice: An interdisciplinary research centre based in the School of Education. The “HE Pedagogy an Practice” research strand aims to develop the evidence base for our work, supporting and informing an evidence-based approach. This provides a university-level central home for pedagogic and practice-based research and support, across all the disciplines and Schools.
