Academic Leadership

Academic Leadership

This category recognises strategic leadership in learning and teaching, including curriculum development, mentoring schemes, and policy initiatives. 

Leading committees or task groups 
Some CMBEs chair school-level committees or strategic working groups. If you have contributed to educational leadership in this way, minutes from meetings or a reflective statement can serve as evidence. 

Managing formal mentoring schemes 
If you have developed mentoring programmes to support colleagues' professional development, you can log this as CPD. A scheme outline or participant feedback provides verification. 

Maximum hours claimable per year: up to 10 hours
