Course Directors Network | 9 September

The Course Directors Network provides a cross-faculty space for Course Directors to learn from and with each other. The goal of the CDN is to support Course Directors face the many challenges of this unique role and identify opportunities when leading whole of course processes. All Course Directors (program coordinators, discipline leads) at UTS are invited to attend.

In this CDN meeting we will:

1. Briefly review capabilities and dispositions required of course directors that we worked on in the last meeting
2. The stewardship of course directors. Presentation by Dr Walter Jarvis from The UTS Business School followed by a QandA session.
3. Question time: this part is reserved for anybody who wants to seek advice from the CDN

The Stewardship of Course Coordinators     Dr Walter Jarvis

Walter will briefly present his take of stewardship of a Course Director as an advocacy role in defining characteristics in the AQF level 9 master degrees in Higher Education.  This advocacy often means championing and openly embracing preparing students for higher levels of thinking and engaging with complexity, uncertainty and accountability in their future practices. The course director can be seen as the custodian of pedagogical preparations for public service – ie, striving to ensure a coherent,  rigorous and scaffolded whole-of-course orientation characterised by progressive formation and commitment toward accountability for a public good (eg justice, trust, safety).
