Staff Development Guidelines
The complete STAR guidelines are available here. BackgroundIn a time-limited project such as the STAR project it is not possible to influence directly all those who have an effect on student transition, even in our own instituitions. We have therefore, attempted to present a set of practical examples which illustrate how those factors which influence transition and retention (summarised in the STAR guidelines) can be improved. Although these practices are aimed at staff who teach they will provide a valuable resource for staff and educational developers seeking to promote good practice. In addition to these general aids, STAR has produced an induction audit which has been used successfully as a checklist with both staff (as an aid to raising awareness of the issues) and with students. Staff Development Tools
1. An Induction Audit - This audit is designed as a tool that can be used to examine your current practice. No one institution could be expected to display all the aspects of good practice implied in this audit. Some questions might address problems which you do not have, while others may be totally beyond the gift of those completing the audit. Considering the questions in this audit and the discussion of the outcomes with colleagues should promote reflection and change where advantages are perceived. Change has costs but so does student attrition. 2. Information about the way skills develop within subjects 3. An American model of an effective remedy. If
