The Course Director role is a key role and one that many academics undertake at some stage during their time at ARU. Course Directors play a pivotal role at ARU and inspire trust and foster a sense of belonging and inclusion.
We have created a Course Directors' Toolkit on The Heron (login required). Take a look at the Course Directors' Companion and the Course Directors' Induction resource.
We've organised three events taking place before the start of next trimester in Cambridge, Peterborough and Chelmsford. These sessions are open to all Course Directors, whether newly appointed or long-established in the role.
We’re strongly recommending that all Course Directors attend these in preparation for the year ahead.
Programme:
12pm Arrival, lunch and networking
1pm Course Director updates for 26/27:
2.30pm Refreshments, networking
3pm Workshops: leading your course team (by Faculty)
4pm Close
*If you used the Course Team fund last year and would like to share what you did with it, let [email protected] know and which event you’ll be joining!
Forums
Each Faculty convenes its own Course Director Forums on a regular basis during the academic year. These provide an excellent opportunity to keep abreast of recent developments at ARU, and to share practice with other Course Directors. Contact your Director of Learning Teaching & Assessment for more information on the dates/venues for Course Leader Forum meetings in your own Faculty.
