PREP Framework Mentors | Centre for Higher Education Practice

Following your attendance of a PREP Framework Briefing session, the main guidance for writing a successful application comes through your mentor, who will ideally not be your line manager. You will need to organise a mentor for yourself in discussion with your line-manager / academic mentor who may know of appropriate individuals. Mentors will normally give you 2-3 hours of their time, offering:

initial guidance on your choice of Descriptor to apply for.
feedback on draft examples of your work, including if it is appropriate for the descriptor for which you are applying.

See below for contact details of individuals who can fulfil this role.

Mentors will normally:

be an experienced educator who has achieved at least the HEA Descriptor for which you are applying. For example, D2 mentors can act for those applying for Descriptor 1 or Descriptor 2.
be conversant with the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF). Individuals who have completed PGCAP (formally called PCAP) from October 2012 onwards will be familiar with the UKPSF, but if holders of PGCAP (formally called PCAP) previous to that date are willing to act as mentors we can arrange support for them via co-mentoring.
have themselves successfully submitted a PREP application or have attended a mentor briefing session, thereby being conversant with the UKPSF. The next dates for mentor briefings will be posted shortly. When posted, mentors can book their place via Staffbook, our online booking system.
be able to act as a critical friend, that is, someone who helps you with the process of thinking about your educator practice, eg the links between theory and practice in the classroom, assessment and student support.
be able to discuss development opportunities with you, such as internal events and opportunities, and recommend sources of information on education related workshops running within the institution and further afield.
not be required to formally assess participants’ work.
