ADSHE Quality Assurance Scheme

ADSHE Quality Assurance Pilot Scheme for dyslexia specialist 1:1 tutors in Higher Education

ADSHE is developing a  register of professional dyslexia specialist tutors which will demonstrate that

  • all ADSHE tutors adhere to ADSHE principles and its Code of Ethics,
  • all ADSHE tutors are suitably qualified
  • all ADSHE tutors have undertaken to engage in continuing professional development on a regular basis.

This register is a way of demonstrating that ADSHE tutors are of the highest quality.

As the first stage in this process, ADSHE is piloting a self-audit tool for specialist 1:1 tutors and a peer supervision scheme during the academic autumn term of 2011-12 and, after revisions and executive ratification, introduce the scheme in 2012. The intention is to develop a flexible tool that is appropriate to both institutions and freelance tutors.

We welcome institutions and individuals willing to pilot the self-audit tool and / or the professional peer supervision programme.
