Learning is a journey not a destination. Teaching involves engaging students and being engaged oneself in this life-long process. Adoption of a partnership model supports student's achievement of learning milestones e.g . discipline/transferable knowledge/skills while respecting students as thinkers and learners. Widening participation is our ethical responsibility. Innovation and Leadership Loughran (2011) integrates research, teaching and clinical expertise. Was the lead academic in Teaching and Learning in my school fro a number of years as Head of Teaching and Learning. I organised seminars, support T/L enhancement, advise on e.g assessment, student support. As Fellow in Teaching and Academic Development had the opportunity to research broader structural aspects of teaching and learning. I have published on teaching/learning in social work (publications), articles on curriculum design (under review), structural provision of electives( preparation).
