UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF)

The UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) is a guide designed for educators in higher education to enhance teaching effectiveness and support student learning. It outlines key areas of teaching practice, including knowledge of subjects, teaching methods, and engagement with students. The framework sets standards for professional development, helping educators reflect on their practice and strive for improvement. It is also used for assessing teaching quality and establishing recognition for excellence in teaching within the UK’s higher education sector. Ultimately, the UKPSF aims to elevate the overall educational experience for students.
