Application for membership of the community on Enterprise Education - March 2020 – Feb 2021.

Summary of community:

This is a learning community designed to support the development of entrepreneurial teaching practice.  Through the creation of a diverse and supportive network of practitioners who are all addressing a common goal (to change teaching practice/delivery methods to support the development of entrepreneurial attributes in their students). This group seeks to embed novel approaches within their teaching and share their approaches with others. The collaborative nature of this community seeks to build upon the pre-existing experience to share expertise and develop new approaches, where necessary.   By drawing from a wide range of teaching traditions and disciplines, this group will serve as problem solvers as well as ‘critical friends’ to those that are seeking to change the way they are delivering.

Projects within this community will focus on the topic of Enterprise Education and consider what and how this is expressed within the formal/informal curriculum at undergraduate/postgraduate level. For example, how do you embed aspects of enterprise education within the teaching, learning and assessments within existing module/s or how can enterprise education be a key feature of the teaching, learning and assessment within the programme at each year of study.  

Approaches need to be focused on student experience and impact as well as rooted within the European entrepreneurship competence mode; “Entrecomp”.  Work needs to support the development of one or more of the 15 competencies identified within the three areas in order to ensure that this community is creating a library of materials that will benefit others across the University.
