The SDF has revamped their website a little while ago, you can find it here.
We have a growing number of contributors, such as our L&D professionals, partners, academic colleagues, independent learning and developer professionals, coaches, SDF council members, and others.
I’d like to reach you and offer a friendly reminder that SDF website contributions are posted on the SDF website and released through the monthly SDF NewsPad – here the latest edition.
We are looking for regular and/or one off blog contributions that will be of interest to the SDF network. If you wish to get some practice on blogging (could this be your new goal for the remainder of 2024?), please do give us a shout.
Why not? This may be your chance to make progress in enhancing your written communications and/or blogging for wider audiences.
Guidelines:
- Write about Learning and Development topics, Coaching, Organisational Development, what have you learnt about AI, how are you supporting others develop, or similar topics.
- 300 to 500 words.
- Add a clear signature with a short profile and contact details at the bottom of the blog.
- One or more good quality images (one of them will introduce the actual blog). Alternatively, the SDF will source images for you.
- Have a look at a couple of examples:
Is my reflective practice good enough?
How to succeed at team coaching
Tackling Social Class discrimination
Ideas:
- Fancy the idea, but don’t know where to start? Consider writing your SDF Story, we’d like to showcase Learning and Development professionals across the diverse SDF regional networks, please don’t be shy and give it a go.
- Want to help but don’t know where to start? Has your institution or regional network produced a press release you would like to disseminate more widely? Check with your institution and consider re-publishing this again through us.
- Are you taking part in a project at your institution? Consider sharing achievements and lessons learned from your project for everyone else in the SDF network and other sectors via our website.
Open to other sectors:
We welcome blog contributions across UK institutions, we are also open to contributions coming from other professionals outside the SDF network and HE.
