This insightful volume details the implementation and challenges of
the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), developed in the UK to
ensure equal access to higher education for all social classes. It
posits that a modern higher education institution requires a robust
set of mechanisms - specifically mentorship, leadership, and
research - to create high-quality teaching and learning. Noted
contributors pose and answer key questions about the TEF in such
areas as solution-focused teaching, mentoring for the job market,
and social science curriculum development, using best practice
examples in the field. These ideas and strategies carry great
potential to improve the caliber of teaching and learning in
universities, and with it, students' social mobility. Among the
topics covered: * Why have mentoring in universities? Reflections
and justifications. * Working with students as partners: developing
peer mentoring to enhance the undergraduate student experience. *
The employers' reach: mentoring undergraduate students to enhance
employability. * Learn it and pass it on: strategies for
educational succession. * Mentoring mentees to mentor. *
Interdisciplinarity in higher education: the challenges of
adaptability. Mentorship, Leadership, and Research will play a
pivotal role in UK higher education since currently there is scant
academic literature on practical tools to help universities to
succeed at the TEF. A resource with international implications, it
should interest sociologists of education and professionals in
business strategy and leadership, social work, and community
development. Michael Snowden is a Senior Lecturer in Mentoring
Studies at the University of Huddersfield, UK. Jamie P. Halsall is
a Reader in Social Sciences at the University of Huddersfield, UK.
"Given the recent introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework
(TEF) in the United Kingdom, this timely book outlines effective
practices to help earn the "Gold" standard. While considering TEF
within the current climate of academic competition and critical
evaluation, a diverse group of experts lay out why mentoring is one
highly effective answer to the TEF standards and without
compromising productivity in other service and research agendas.
This book is a must read for academics and higher learning
administrators alike." Leda Nath, Professor of Sociology,
University of Wisconsin
