STAR Framework

We offer two workshops and a series of drop-in sessions aimed at supporting your journey towards HEA recognition
STAR Framework
Introductory workshop
The STAR introductory workshop opens by outlining the Imperial STAR Framework and the HEA's UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF). Participants will then establish which level of recognition best matches their current level of experience before beginning the process of mapping their practice to the UKPSF (at Higher Education Academy).
Pre-submission workshop
The STAR pre-submission workshop employs a combination of self-assessment, peer-assessment and tutor input to assess each delegate’s learning outcomes and practice against the UKPSF (at Higher Education Academy). A fundamental focus of the workshop is to identify areas for development to the written application prior to submission.
Individual support sessions
We run a series of individual support sessions to support you through the application process. These 20 minute sessions will allow you to work on an application in progress or to discuss a potential application with a member of the EDU team. As with other STAR workshops, these are currently being held via Microsoft Teams.
