Professional Standards Framework - AdvanceHE

The Professional Standards Framework (PSF) is aframework for benchmarking success within higher education teaching and learning.

Advance HE manages and leads the development of the PSF on behalf ofindividuals and institutions in higher education.

The PSF 2023 builds on the strengths of the previous PSF while placing much more overt emphasis on:

• the effectiveness and impact of teaching;
• the context in which the teaching takes place;
• inclusivity – both from the perspective of the wider range of staff now able to engage with the PSF and how more inclusive approaches ensure all learners feel respected, valued and have equity in opportunity to succeed.

With a greater emphasis ondigital/technology, professional values, support for studentsandcollaboration,the revisions ensure the PSF is fit-for-the-future and remains relevant and compelling wherever and however higher education teaching and learning are delivered.
