CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT /

BUILD ON AND VALUE the strengths
and exemplars of practice

DEVELOP A COMMON LANGUAGE among staff
and students and relation to subject specific creative practices

Encourage ARTICULATION OF LEARNING
through creative practice

RESEARCH in learning, exploring student experience
and relations to aspirations and career pathways

Develop with staff a HOLISTIC APPROACH
to link learning to career

IMPROVE INFORMATION on career pathways
and opportunities and feed these back to courses

ENGAGE WITH INDUSTRY in the creative sector
and beyond in order to develop mutual understanding 

BARRIERS /

Strategy fatigue and initiative overload for staff in an
already crowded curriculumprovides little time for reflection
and development

Lack of shared language and structural barriers that
inhibits students in making connections between
different elements of course and articulation of skills and successes

Approach is not holistic where creative development is
linked in relation to personal goals and ideas and the
segregation and separation from practice reduces PPD to check listing

Not indicated as valued, nor planned for in teaching
and assessment, which is directly related to student
satisfaction and results in an inconsistent student experience across institution

RECOMMENDATIONS /

Overcome strategy fatigue and initiative overload for staff in
an already crowded curriculum, by linking strategies
and working together

Link central initiatives with innovative curricula
development at course or college level

Be realistic and involve staff at course level as a
natural part of progressive cycle of course development

Improve coordination of enterprise and employability
support and create learning opportunities for staff
and students to take the creative process into difference contexts
and reflect on results
