  • Develop and apply innovative and inclusive teaching techniques and assessment procedures across the breadth or depth of subject area
  • Take a lead in your own area of expertise and develop new ideas to meet the needs of the modern world
  • Contribute to our thinking and be challenging on how Salford can transform the way it addresses equity disparities, embraces diversity and becomes more inclusive
  • Foster the development of an inclusive community, using teaching approaches which encourage inclusivity, working in partnership with students to improve their sense of belonging, diversifying the curriculum and using approaches to inclusive assessment to close the award gap
