HE Academy: Referees
Referees provide a peer review of the applicant’s practice and support and supplement the information given in the
application.
They need to read your application before composing your reference.
They should comment on how you meet the application criteria for the Academy, using their knowledge of your work and its context, especially your most recent role and responsibilities. Probably they need to talk this over with you.
9
Your referees should be:
• experienced staff active in teaching and learning support• able to comment knowledgeably first-hand on your work. • not necessarily very senior members of your organisation• able to comment on your current/recent role and responsibilities
Examples:• someone who has observed your teaching• a fellow course team member• your line manager• someone from another organisation with whom you have worked.
