‘the Seven Pillars of SCEPTrE Fellowship’

The Surrey Centre for Excellence in Professional Training and Education has been established to promote, identify and enable excellent teachers develop and expand the influence of excellent educational practices. SCEPTrE Fellows are talented education professionals who have received an award from the University of Surrey on the basis of a commitment to the further development of learning and teaching in line with SCEPTrE's educational mission. The Fellowship is helping people to develop new educational practices that provide students with experiences that will better prepare them for the complexities of an uncertain and continually challenging world.

SCEPTrE Fellows forge international links!

Tony (A SCEPTrE Fellow at Queensland University of Technology) came over from Australia for SCEPTrE's 2010 conference and got stranded by the Icelandic volcano. But he met up with Trevor (also a SCEPTrE Fellow),who was planning to travel to Australia to spread the word about his Fellowship. As a result Trevor was invited to spend some time at QUT with Tony and his colleagues.

whole life learning

 Our vision of ‘whole life learning’ embraces the ideas of ‘life-long learning’, ‘life-wide-learning’ and ‘personal wellbeing’. It:

• Embeds and connects academic, professional and personal development within the disciplinary curriculum
• Encompasses formal and informal learning in the classroom, on work placement,  in paid or unpaid work, in extra-curricular settings and other aspects of life.
• Sees professional training and the opportunity it provides to work in an appropriate professional environment as a key component of learner development.
• Encourages students to actively participate in all the opportunities for learning that life has to offer and seeks to recognize and value the learning gained through this life-wide curriculum.
