The Hallam Guild will provide the infrastructure for the development of a transformative and sector-leading approach to supporting teaching excellence. It will do this by creating a cross-University network of educators and professional service colleagues who will be focused on enhancing our quality and distinctiveness through scholarship, research, praxis and impact in learning and teaching.<\/div>\n<div>The Hallam Guild will build on, support and further enhance our current infrastructure for professional support and institutional development. Currently, we have excellent professional development work supported in our faculties and Directorates. The Hallam Guild is designed to further enhance and support this excellence. It does so by creating a membership organisation that, supported by an Academic Director, is run by its members who are engaged in supporting our strategy through internal and external profiling.<\/div>\n<div>It is envisaged that the Guild will harness the power of the whole institution\u2019s endeavours for enhancing the student experience in terms of quality and distinctiveness by supporting the development of strong cultures of student engagement, knowledge exchange, collaboration and the productive outcomes that arise from networking whether this is within the University, regionally, nationally or internationally.<\/div>\n<div>The Board approved the next steps to begin recruitment of the administrative support staff and produce a business case.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"line-height: 115%;font-family: 'arial', 'sans-serif';font-size: 10pt\">Reflections on TEF narratives &amp; Annual Quality Report<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><span style=\"color: #000000;line-height: 115%;font-family: 'arial', 'sans-serif';font-size: 10pt\">The Board received a summary report of the analysis of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.shu.ac.uk\/sites\/shustrategy\/SiteAssets\/Lists\/SFNews\/EditForm\/SF%203-17-8%20TEF%20Outcomes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">TEF Outcomes<\/a> and the draft Annual Quality Report for information. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Agenda<\/strong><\/h4>\n<div>1.
