Professional Recognition toolkit for musicians and dancers teaching in higher education

Many musicians and dancers working in higher education (HE) are employed because of their professional experience in artistic practice and because of their ability to provide training in highly specialised areas. The large majority of these individuals are engaged in high-level creative activity in the development of the disciplines, rather than in more conventional text-based research or scholarly activities. These individuals contribute to the currency of learning, teaching and assessment for students, as well as bringing valuable industry experience. They represent a leading attraction for aspiring artists to study in higher education. This toolkit is aimed at such professionals.
