An academic is getting poor student feedback in student assessment surveys. His teaching is boring, they say. Pedagogic support helps him to understand why and to change his practices. Student feedback improves.

A world class Professor of research suffers from nerves in a classroom. She cannot look students in the eye and is bad at answering questions. It could be so different. Pedagogic support works on understanding where those nerves come from and helping the Professor to eliminate them. She then enjoys her classroom and so do her students. It also helps her free up time for research, as she is less flustered.

An academic is setting essays with unexciting titles and students are handing in lack-luster content. Marks suffer, feedback suffers. Pedagogic advice enables the academic to invent better titles with the help of his students who then feel empowered and engaged. Essay content is stimulating, ending in higher marks and happier educational experiences for all, including the academic who is now marking wonderfully interesting work and no longer exasperated by student standards.

Students have arrived to university without the skill of sustained reading and the course suffers from having to ask for reading from students only of brief abstracts and edited versions. Pedagogic advice enables staff and students to develop reading skills and thereby the course content gains richness, as does the educational experience for all and course satisfaction improves.

It is noticed that admissions to a certain art course - decided and controlled by a particular older, male Professor whose opinions are not up for question - are highly white and "young able female." Mature students, physically challenged and ethnically non-white students are being rejected without cause, despite presenting well at interview and application. Legal issues due to this unfairness have begun to be a difficulty for the university. Pedagogic advice works to educate the professor involved (without blame) on diversity of admissions and why this matters for excellence in teaching and learning for all. The university's reputation also benefits for being a diverse, cutting edge place to study.

Universities are not easy places to work in for various reasons. If an academic is struggling with their mental health in the workplace (often caused by the workplace) their teaching can suffer. With pedagogic support a university teacher of whatever grade can be empowered mentally and professionally by making changes to their pedagogy with consultancy advice as support.
