This document discusses the critical framework of "Remaining in Good Standing" within higher education institutions, emphasizing the importance of professional development and accreditation. Led by Dr. Sally Bradley, the focus is on ethical teaching practices, institutional teaching codes, and the integration of continuing professional development (CPD) into academic frameworks. Key aspects include the decoupling of good standing from traditional practices, the role of professional bodies, and sector-wide engagement to enhance learning and teaching strategies. It provides insights and case studies on implementing these principles effectively.
