Our second activity for week 3 of PACT involved identifying how one of the selected readings can help us better reflect on our practice.

PACT week 3: Domain 4 Professional Knowledge and Skills in Teaching and Learning
Part of this week’s PACT homework involves digging into the national PD Framework (for all staff who teach in higher education).
