From tools and techniques to current initiatives and strategic priorities, you'll find everything you need to develop your pedagogical practice, digital expertise and professional skills.
Strategic Priorities
Newcastle University aspires to be a people-focused university that harnesses academic excellence, innovation and creativity to provide benefits to individuals, to organisations, and to society as a whole. Take a look at some of the ways we are trying to achieve this - and how these educational priorities should inform your teaching and assessment practice.
Education for Sustainable Development is the process of creating curriculum structures and subject-relevant content to help address social, environmental and economic concerns.
Decolonising the curriculum involves reflecting on our assumptions about how the world is, and the legacies of Western colonialism and empire on knowledge, education and professions.
Our shared goal is for the University to be ranked highly for Graduate Outcomes, and this starts in our partnerships with students, Schools and with external businesses and organisations.
The Educational Challenge Areas consist of a series of initiatives designed to facilitate the exchange of ideas and the development of new approaches to the University.
Through our institutional EDI strategy and dedicated working groups, events and projects, we aim to create a positive, supportive culture for everyone to reach their potential.
