Educational Development and Strategic Planning

Teaching is an intervention which allows someone to learn as fully as they are able. Universities and colleges should provide students with the structures and support they need to learn, and recognise and minimise the barriers to learning which do not relate to a student‟s ability. We are still only part of the way along the journey of understanding what we need to provide our students with in order to enable them to learn best, what kinds of interventions can and should be made, what skills and attributes are needed by teachers and leaders in post compulsory education. Strategic planning in educational development is about finding out what should be done to improve our provision for students, and putting the resources and infrastructure in place to enable those changes to happen.
