Sessional Teaching Staff and Learning, Teaching, and Assessment: Engaging the Marginalised
Bradley, Sally Ann
Collected Essays on Learning and Teaching, v1 p47-53 2008
This paper discusses the issues around the professional development needs of sessional teaching staff in the UK. The introduction of the UK professional standards framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education in 2006 raised the issue of engaging the wide range of staff, faculty, and learning support in professional development. Sessional teaching staff present a challenge when their main employment is outside of the institution.
