D4Individuals are able to demonstrate: how they have met the
requirements of all of the seven elements of the Senior Fellow Descriptor (D3.I – D3.VII)
evidence of a sustained record of effectiveness, e.g. organisation, leadership, and/or management of L&T provision
evidence of wider impact, sustained success and record of effectiveness across provisions, teams /departments/schools/faculties
evidence of success across all Areas of Activity, Core Knowledge and Professional Values
how their claim is underpinned by successful engagement with D3.VII
Individuals are able to demonstrate:
• how they have met the requirements of all of the five elements of the Principal Fellow Descriptor (D4.I – D4.V)
• evidence that cover activities at institutional or wider (inter)national settings
• sustained effective strategic leadership in academic practice and development and the impact of their work
• how their claim is underpinned by and makes clear how they apply and/or champion the Core Knowledge and Professional Values in carrying out the Areas of Activity set out in the UKPSF

• Reflection
• Alignment
• Commitment

Key principles (1)
• Applications should relate to your positive impact on student learning
• At D3 and D4, you must show sustained record of success/achievement
• Claims should evidence successful engagement with appropriate dimensions of UKPSF
• Learning may also take place through reflection on experiences which have not worked
• Claims should not be based on role, job description or status of individual
• Outcomes, impact and influence (and reflection of evidence of same) much more important than role, activities per se 14
Key principles (2)
1. Tell a structured story in the first person, not necessarily chronological; consider using sub-headings; avoid it reading like an annotated cv
2. Choose a range of examples rather telling your life story;
3. Avoid being over descriptive; include analysis, rationale and reflection on what worked and equally important what lessons you took from things which did not work so well
4. Answer the so what question - what is the evidence of impact / difference made?
5. Make explicit where you have presented evidence of meeting each of the A (1-5), K (1-6) and V (1-4)
6. Include rationale / evidence based on SoTL literature – e.g. Gibbs, 2010 but don’t over do it.
7. Avoid disciplinary/institutional specific language and acronyms;
8. Choose your referees/ advocates with care.15
