2 Background 1. The Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) is a scheme for recognising excellent teaching, in addition to existing national quality requirements for universities, colleges and other higher education (HE) providers. It provides information to help prospective students choose where to study. 2. Introduced by the Department for Education in England in 2016, participating higher education providers received a gold, silver, bronze or provisional award reflecting the excellence of their teaching, learning environment and student outcomes. 3. Participation is voluntary, and almost 300 higher education providers (universities, colleges and alternative providers) from across the UK took part in TEF Year Two ( ). 4. The Government has asked the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) to implement TEF Year Three and a subject-level pilot exercise during , across the devolved nations of the UK. 5. TEF Year Three will again be voluntary, and will produce ratings at provider level. 6. The TEF Subject Pilot will involve a sample of up to 40 providers, and will inform the development of the TEF by testing how ratings could be produced at subject as well as provider level. This has the potential to provide students with more detailed information to inform their choices of where to study. 7. TEF Subject Pilots are expected to run for two years. In the first year the pilot will run between autumn 2017 and summer 2018, and will test two models of assessment. It will not interact with TEF Year Three, and no subject-level ratings will be published in a way that identifies individual providers. A second year of subject piloting is expected to take place in HEFCE aims to include a wide range of higher education providers in the pilot, whether or not they have already participated in the TEF, or intend to participate in TEF Year Three. 8. Further information about the TEF Subject Pilot is available here: Introduction 9. In both TEF Year Three and the Subject Pilot, metrics and submissions from participating providers will be reviewed by expert panels. We expect many of the TEF Year Two panellists and assessors to continue as Year Three panellists and assessors, with some moving across to the Subject Pilot panels. 10. We are seeking to appoint approximately 100 additional individuals to form the Subject Pilot panels, and to supplement the Year Three panellists and assessors. 11. This document sets out the roles available, selection criteria and application process. Please read it thoroughly before making an application.

3 12. Note that only a small number of TEF Year Three panellist and assessor vacancies are available. In particular we are looking for some additional academic applicants with experience of HE in further education colleges (FECs) or alternative providers (APs), some additional student representatives, and a small number of employment and widening participation (WP) experts. 13. A larger number of Subject Pilot roles are available, and we welcome candidates from all types of HE provider, as well as student representatives, employer and professional, statutory and regulatory body (PSRB) representatives, and employment and widening participation experts. 14. All appointments for TEF Year Three and the Subject Pilot are initially for one year and may be extended for a further year (TEF Year Four and a further year of subject pilots). 15. This document sets out: a. The roles available and key responsibilities for each role. b. The criteria for appointment. c. The application process. d. The expected time commitments and associated fees. 16. To ensure the Subject Pilot is purely developmental and has no impact on the ratings awarded by the TEF Year Three exercise, the panellists for each exercise are entirely separate. Successful candidates will be appointed to and take part in either TEF Year Three or the Subject Pilot. Application process 17. Candidates should firstly check they meet the essential criteria set out in this document, then apply online at by downloading, completing and uploading an application form. Once uploaded, you will be prompted to answer some questions online to complete your application. 18. If you are applying to be a chair of a TEF Pilot Subject Panel, you may wish to include letters of endorsement within your application form before uploading it. 19. Candidates should submit only one application, and may be appointed to only one role. The online form provides opportunity for candidates to indicate which role(s) they wish to be considered for where they meet the essential criteria for more than one role. 20. If you require the application form or recruitment information in an alternative format, please contact tef@hefce.ac.uk 21. The deadline for applications midday on Friday 6 October. TEF Year Two panellists and assessors 22. TEF Year Two panellists and assessors are invited to extend their involvement, either for TEF Year Three or the Subject Pilot. All TEF Year Two panellists and assessors who wish to continue should complete the online questions to confirm their intention to continue, express a 3

4 preference for either TEF Year Three or the Subject Pilot, and update their details. We will accommodate preferences where possible but will allocate roles to people where their expertise is most required. 23. Year Two panellists and assessors are not required to complete and upload a new application form unless they wish to apply for a different type of role, and in particular: a. If they wish to apply for a role as a TEF Pilot Subject Panel chair or Deputy chair. b. If an assessor wishes to apply for a role as a Year Three panel member or Pilot Main Panel member. Subject Pilot: Panel composition and responsibilities 24. For the TEF Subject Pilot, assessment will be carried out by a Pilot Main Panel and seven Pilot Subject Panels: there will be one Subject Panel for each of the seven subject groups set out in Annex C. 25. The Subject Pilot is assessing two models for generating subject-level and provider-level ratings, and there is a specific assessment process for each model. The same Pilot Main Panel and seven Subject Panels will carry out the assessments in both models, and provide feedback on them. 26. DfE will publish the findings of the Subject Pilot, but this will not include the ratings in a way that identifies individual providers. Each provider participating in the Subject Pilot will receive its own ratings, as determined by the Subject Pilot panels, for internal use only. 27. The Pilot Main Panel will generate the provider-level ratings in each pilot model. It will comprise approximately 25 members, 7 of whom will also act as Subject Panel chairs, and a further 7 of whom will also act as Subject Panel Deputy chairs. We expect the Pilot Main Panel will comprise the following roles (the number of roles are indicated in brackets): a. Chair 1 (1) b. Members Academic (with institution-wide responsibility) (7) c. Members Academic (who are also Subject Panel chairs) (7) d. Members Student (who are also Subject Panel Deputy chairs) (7) e. Employment experts (2) f. Widening participation experts (2). 28. The seven Pilot Subject Panels will assess the subject-level metrics and submissions, in each model. Each Subject Panel will have approximately 14 members, with expertise aligned to match the subject groups set out in Annex C. For each Subject Panel we expect to appoint to the following roles (the approximate number of roles are indicated in brackets): 1 Professor Janice Kay CBE, Provost and Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Exeter and Deputy chair of the TEF Panel will chair the Pilot Main Panel. No other assessor or panellist will be part of both processes. 4

5 a. Chair (who is also an academic member of the Main Panel) (1) b. Deputy chair (who is also a student member of the Main Panel) (1) c. Members Academic (7) d. Members Student (3) e. Members Employer/PSRB representative (2). 29. The responsibilities of the Main Panel and Subject Panels in each pilot model are described in further detail in the pilot specification 2. A summary is also in Annex D. 30. Key responsibilities for the individual roles on the pilot panels are set out below. 2 See 5

7 TEF Year Three: Panel composition and responsibilities 32. As in TEF Year Two, Year Three panel members and assessors will undertake expert independent assessment of all applications to TEF Year Three. They will carry out the assessments according to criteria set out in the DfE specification and HEFCE guidance (anticipated in September and October respectively). They will also adhere to a set of agreed procedures, including arrangements to avoid any individual assessing a submission with which they hold a conflict of interest. 33. Panel members will be responsible for deciding the assessment outcomes, based on recommendations and advice from the wider pool of assessors. 34. We are only recruiting a small number of assessors and panel members for Year Three, to supplement those continuing from Year Two. Specifically, we aim to recruit some additional academic members and assessors with experience of HE in FEC and/or APs; some additional student representatives, and some additional employment and widening participation experts. 35. We expect the TEF Year Three panel and assessors will comprise the following roles (the number of roles are indicated in brackets): a. Chair 3 (1) b. Deputy chair 4 (1) c. Panel members Academic (12) d. Panel members Student (6) e. Panel members Employment experts (2) f. Panel members Widening participation experts (2) g. Assessors Academic (24) h. Assessors Students (12). 36. The final number of assessors that are allocated work will be determined by the number of providers that apply for a TEF Year Three assessment; it is possible that not all appointed assessors will be allocated work. 37. Key responsibilities for the individual roles of Year Three panel members and assessors are set out below. 3 Professor Chris Husbands, Vice-Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University, will continue to serve as Chair of the TEF Year Three Panel. 4 Professor Janice Kay CBE, Provost and Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Exeter will continue to serve as Deputy Chair of the TEF Year Three Panel and will chair the Main Panel for the Subject Pilot. No other assessor or panellist will be part of both processes. 7
