In recent years, staff and educational development -- the systematic and scholarly support for improving educational systems and the practices of educators -- has moved to centre stage within higher and further education institutions around the world. Educational development units are widespread, both within institutions and subject disciplines, and extensive funding is being applied to projects that seek to improve the quality of student learning. Large numbers of staff are now involved in the field, yet often receive little or no professional training or support for their role as developers. This timely, comprehensive guide is a practical introduction to the key issues and practices in staff and educational development. Leading contributors draw on their expertise and experience to provide authoritative accounts of the core areas that a good developer should know about, from planning a staff development event to promoting strategic organizational change. A Guide to Staff and Educational Development will be an indispensable reference tool for anyone in the early years of his or her career as an agent in higher or further education, and will act as a comprehensive, up-to-date refresher for more experienced staff and educational developers.

Industry Reviews

'As a true guide (to be placed on my shelf for further reference), the book covers issues from basic to complex. At the end it motivates the staff developers to take charge of their own development. The book is full of examples and case studies, and is a must read for all educational developers.' - Sanjaya Mishra, British Journal of Educational Technology

'This is a great book ... Educational development is an enormous subject which has multiple meanings and a variety of diverse approaches encompassed within it. This book will be really valuable both to people just starting out in this domain and also those who have been immersed in it for decades.' - Sally Brown, Educational Developments: SEDA

'This volume is comprehensive in its coverage, well-structured, well-written (with a commendable degree of stylistic commonality between contributions), and achieves a good balance between theory, context, and practice. It is a 'must read' for all those who are contemplating or building a career in staff and educational development, and the self-developmental chapters in particular have much to offer the experienced practitioner.' - Stan Taylor, ESCalate November 2005
