How can universities recognise and enhance excellence in personal tutoring practice?
In this session, David Grey, Chief Executive Officer of UKAT (UK Advising and Tutoring Association), shares how a university‑wide Professional Recognition Scheme supports and recognises high‑quality personal tutoring across the UK higher education sector.
David outlines how the scheme is built on UKAT’s Professional Framework for Advising and Tutoring, and how PebblePad ePortfolios are used to help staff evidence their practice, reflect against defined competencies, and demonstrate ongoing professional development. The session also explores how a structured, scalable assessment and moderation process operates using PebblePad and Atlas.
Key themes include:
- Supporting and recognising excellence in personal tutoring
- Using professional frameworks to scaffold staff development
- ePortfolios as a tool for reflective professional practice
- Structured peer review, moderation, and assessment processes
- University‑wide approaches to staff recognition and quality enhancement
This session provides valuable insight for institutions seeking to strengthen personal tutoring, advising, and staff development through reflective, evidence‑based recognition schemes.
