In many courses, sessional academics have the majority of direct student contact and deliver a considerable proportion of the university’s teaching. There are opportunities to develop new, and improve existing, training and support resources, and build a stronger community amongst sessional academics and the wider university. The Supporting Sessional Academic Staff Community of Practice (SSAS EF CoP) is in the process of developing methods to support and up-skill sessional academics and academics that manage sessional staff. Our objective is to identify, collate, develop, and disseminate resources to support sessional academics in their varying roles. Resources that our CoP develops will be distributed across the university to support sessional staff to enhance teaching performance, educational experience, and student and staff wellbeing.
