STAR introductory workshop

Who should attend?

This blended workshop requires participants to access and watch a series of short videos (approximately 5 minutes each) detailing the STAR Framework scheme in the context of Imperial. It will discuss the different levels of Fellowship available through the various STAR Framework pathways, and the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF, 2023) that applicants will need to familiarise themselves with before signing up to the hands on practical session. The session will focus on how individual educational practice may align with a relevant level of Fellowship, as well as what types of examples from practice may be discussed in the context of an application. Upon registration, participants will receive instructions on how to access the video resources, and a copy of the worksheet they will need to bring with them to the session. The 1.5 hour session will also allow for ringfenced time for Q&A to address any questions and to clarify any aspects of the process as needed. At the end of the session next steps on completing a reflective and scholarly fellowship application will be signposted, and additional useful resources/support available will be detailed.
