University of Copenhagen
Leadership and Institutional Development
Peer mentoring for senior leaders, a CTL institutional development scheme, the LITE Start-up Kit and a micro-credential in teaching excellence leadership.
This strand equips senior university leaders and academic managers with practical tools, peer learning and recognition mechanisms for embedding teaching excellence into governance, career structures and quality assurance processes. Building on the mapping and the training, it turns evidence and skills into practical leadership resources, and supports universities in diverse institutional contexts in establishing, reforming and embedding Centres for Teaching and Learning into leadership-driven strategies.
The strand establishes that developing excellence in teaching is a leadership task, that teaching excellence should be supported by institutional frameworks such as CTLs, that it has both universal and particular expressions, and that its content and meaning are dynamic and require continuous development.
