SoSS Teaching Roadmap<\/h1>\n

Academic Advising and Student Support<\/h2>\n

Academic Advisors must deliver the University\u2019s objectives for academic advising<\/a>, in line with University policy. Through academic advising colleagues will set high expectations that motivate and support diverse learners. Colleagues must be aware of the range of expertise within Schools, departments, and the broader University from which they can seek advice and to which students can be referred. Academic Advisers must undertake induction and refresher training.<\/p>\n

General student support: colleagues must make themselves available to students through appropriate means and offer reasonable availability for consultation times for students. They should inform students of their office hours and, as far as possible, their absences from the University. Interactions with students must be professional and tailored to meet individual student needs with the aim of guiding their personalised learning experience<\/a>, addressing their concerns, supporting their wellbeing and ensuring they feel valued. Colleagues must ensure that they read and implement disabled students\u2019 University Support Plans and contact DASS<\/a> if they have queries on these.<\/p>\n

The School has developed provision for Study Skills support, over and above that provided through the Academic Advising role. Sessions, in person and online, take place throughout both semesters and colleagues are asked to be aware of these sessions and signpost their students to them. There is a particular emphasis on helping students to interpret feedback and use this to improve their marks throughout their degree.<\/p>\n
