In this episode, Rosa Spencer (Professional Development Manager at Newcastle University) and James Davoll (Creative Practitioner and Technical Manager at Newcastle University) talk about evidencing and gaining a category of HEA fellowship from Advance HE from a technician’s perspective.
There is a transcript available.
This discussion begins with James’s experience as a technician and an educator, and how his journey led him to write a guide for all technicians to help them demonstrate and evidence their work as being aligned with the UKPSF. You can read and download the guide here: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/research/nu-technicians/
James and Rosa talk about some of the complexities for both the technician and the university in the role of a technician as an educator, and they reinforce Advance HE’s and the university’s belief in recognising the contribution Technicians make to teaching and supporting students through HEA Fellowships.
