5. HEA framework series……
Is directed towards achieving student success in HE;
Aims to impact upon success by influencing 4 interconnecting aspects of teaching excellence;
Prioritises 6 themes as conduits for achieving student success;
Upholds 4 guiding principles for practice;
Promotes a regard for 6 operational commitments, reflective of the culture.
We would argue that all of the frameworks, all of the themes, are aimed towards achieving student success in higher education. That's placed at the centre of the diagram.
… aiming to impact upon success by influencing the interconnected aspects of teaching excellence, which are around the centre of the diagram.
 Curriculum, learning communities, learning environment and teaching quality.
We conceived of these before the TEF came about, but we were very pleased to see in the TEF, quite explicit links to those areas.
Around that we've got the four guiding principles for practice, which are the four guiding principles that underpin all of our frameworks, and I hope you'll be able to see those connections when you read them.
Collaboration, flexibility, inclusivity, and interconnectivity … recognising the interconnections within an institution, within the departments that you work in, but also across institution, and globally, in the connections that need to be made.
And on the outside of that, a regard for the kind of commitments that need to be made institutionally, and that are reflected within the culture of the institution, or the culture of the department or the culture of the program, so that the notion of, the importance of leadership, continual development, shared responsibility, taking holistic approach to this, the underpinning importance of quality, scholarship in evidence, and evaluation and impact.

6. What our individual frameworks do?
Take a position on a particular theme
Provide a concise high level overview of the theme
Target multiple audiences
They are informed by scholarship, evidence-based research and practice
Encourages dialogue and collaboration within and between institutions
Encourage continuous quality enhancement
Align to the UKPSF.
Each of them intended to take position on a particular theme, make a strong statement about what we believe the direction is for a particular area moving forwards, based on our experience, our knowledge and our expertise, on the scholarship and evidence-based research that's undertaken over the last 12 years.
They're deliberately aimed at multiple audiences because in order to embed these themes, in order to take them forward a number of different stakeholder groups do need to be involved.
They encourage dialogue and collaboration, not competition, between both within the institution, and between institutions, so in that sense they're enabling tools to help inform the kinds of conversations that need to take place and the partnerships that can be developed.
They do encourage continuous development, they're not looking at quick wins or easy fixes, that we can tick the box and say that they've been co-ordinated.
And importantly they align to another of the HEA frameworks, the UKPSF, the Professional Standards Framework, and they demonstrate within it how they align.
