Build your capacity to lead your institution’s learning and teaching strategy
Overview
The Leaders in Learning & Teaching Development Programme (LLT) helps those who are preparing for, or aspiring to, lead, manage and deliver high quality learning & teaching. Participants will gain a better understanding of the complexities of the role, build their leadership capacity, develop their research and practise profile and explore approaches to developing and implementing learning & teaching enhancement strategies.
LLT is a well-established and well-regarded learning and development programme for senior business school faculty. The sessions are a mixture of preparation, information, interaction and discussion. The topics and guest speakers will provoke reflection, thought and action, and the emphasis will be on collaboration and problem solving.

- Gain insight into the changing HE landscape and contemporary issues in business school education

Session outlines
Session One: Agile Leadership: Personal and Leadership Development
25-26 January
This session will focus on understanding the HE landscape, and provide context for shaping your development goals. You will consider your role and responsibilities, discuss your institution within the wider HE policy landscape, and explore the characteristics required for leadership in complexity. You will reflect on and apply the principles to your personal objectives for the future, identifying strengths and areas for development.
Session Two: The Changing Teaching and Learning Landscape

This session will prepare you to adapt to the changing policy and external environment in which business schools operate. You will explore the digital student experience, leading dispersed teams, creating and supporting communities of practice in digital spaces and reflecting on the profiles of staff and students that may be excluded. The implications for the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) will also be examined, with reflections on the appropriateness of quality assurance processes such as student partnership approaches.
Session Three: Nurturing and supporting staff talent and student achievement
2-3 May
This session will support you to better understand how EDI, meaningfully embracing technology, the changing graduate employment landscape and mental health awareness have required leaders in HE to think differently about how they both nurture staff, and support students to achieve.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What does the programme fee include?
The fee includes all course materials and learning resources. It also includes, for each of the four modules, all venue fees, accommodation (1 night) and a dinner with fellow participants.
Can 2 people from the same institution attend this programme?
Due to the nature of the programme which focuses on personal development and encourages frank and open discussion, it may not always be suitable for two participants to attend from the same institution. If we receive two registrations from individuals at the same institution we will notify the institution and the participants, taking account of when the registrations were received, and ask for guidance on whether one or both can attend on the same programme.
What will happen to my booking if some/all of the programme cannot take place as planned?
Before the programme starts: If, due to Covid-19 regulations, we are unable to commence the programme on the scheduled start date we will either postpone to a later date, or consider making LLT a blended, hybrid or fully online programme. The decision will depend on the nature of the situation. In the case of postponement registered participants will automatically be transferred to the new dates. If some/all of the programme is moved online participants will have the option of transferring their booking or receiving a full refund.
Once the programme has started: If, due to Covid-19 regulations, we are unable to run Sessions 2-4 as in-person events on the scheduled dates we will either postpone one or more of the sessions to later dates; or we will complete the programme in a blended, hybrid or fully online way. The decision will depend on the nature of the situation. Registered participants will be consulted before any decisions are made and will automatically be transferred to the new arrangements. If the programme can be completed on new dates or wholly/partially online we will not offer full or partial refunds.
