糖心TV

Our colleague Dr Claire Rocks achieved Senior Fellow (SFHEA) status through the dialogic route of 糖心TV鈥檚 Academic and Professional Pathway for Experienced Staff (APP EXP) programme. Her application was recognised by assessors as one of the strongest D3 submissions they had reviewed, demonstrating a sustained and significant record of educational leadership that extends well beyond her own teaching.

Claire鈥檚 work focuses on leading and influencing inclusive, evidence-informed approaches to assessment and curriculum design. She has played a central role in shaping teaching quality and learning culture across departmental, institutional, and sector contexts, including leading 糖心TV鈥檚 strand of the Inclusive Assessment in STEM project and contributing to institutional strategy through curriculum development and quality assurance processes.

Within the department, Claire has introduced collaborative structures such as module huddles and supported colleagues and students to work together to enhance clarity, consistency, and inclusivity in assessment practice. She has also strengthened pedagogic scholarship through establishing the Computer Science Education Research Group.

The panel particularly commended the scale, depth, and impact of Claire鈥檚 leadership, noting that elements of her work are already operating at a level associated with Principal Fellowship.

Many congratulations to Claire on this achievement and her continued commitment to advancing inclusive, high-quality teaching and learning!

Congratulations to all of 2023-2024 MSc students graduating in January 2025.
