The External Advisory Board

​

 

Our External Advisory Sub-Committee includes representatives from schools, Education Scotland, Further Education and industry. Curriculum for Excellence and the on-going changes to the national qualifications will  realise new curricular arrangements within secondary schools, and requires new and innovative pedagogy for teaching and learning.

 

It is essential that students entering the profession are equipped and skilled to teach effectively within the broad general education and the senior phase curriculum, whilst contributing to the ethos of the school and taking responsibility for their own career long professional learning. The remit and scope of this group is to identify and discuss programme development items to further align the programme to the new national curriculum within schools.

 

Specifically, it is the aim of this group to:

 

  • provide a link between the Degree Programme, schools and other partners;

  • give input to the continuous improvement strategy and development of programme courses;

  • illustrate the challenges and opportunities arising from the new National Qualifications (NQs);

  • identify opportunities to establish and maintain partnerships with schools, industry, commerce and third sector organisations;

  • provide support for the process of recruitment and admissions to the programme; 

  • any other requirement as agreed by the sub-committee.

 

Current board representatives are:

 

  • Mr Lee Dunn (Programme Leader, Programme Committee Member)

  • Dr Robert Doherty (Lecturer, Programme Committee Member)

  • Dr David Morrison-Love (Lecturer, Programme Committee Member)
