We are pleased to announce an update to our induction resource for new academic representation co-ordinators and similar students’ association staff. The Induction guide for Academic Representation Co-ordinators contains helpful information for any new students’ association or institution staff member with a student engagement role.
No matter the new staff member’s prior experience or knowledge, the guide contains helpful context, resources, and reflective activities to support their induction.
The guide includes introductory information about and activities related to the Student Learning Experience model and Scotland’s Ambition for Student Partnership. Guidance on the Tertiary Quality Enhancement Framework is also included in the guide, as well as an updated timeline of key events and activities for student engagement staff.
In this newest update, we have added introductory information about our new Academic Development Toolkit and how it may be used by academic representation co-ordinators and similar students’ association staff. The guide also has an updated list and descriptions of sector agencies that someone in this role may work in partnership with.
We are always keen to welcome new student engagement staff in students’ associations and institutions, so please do reach out to your sparqs key contact for additional support during new staff induction.
If you have any queries or feedback about the published resource, please get in touch with: Amy Monks, Development Consultant – amy.monks@sparqs.ac.uk.
