LSE’s Educational Strategy Unit (ESU) has been established to support the communication of educational strategy, policy and practice at LSE and in particular to facilitate the implementation and progress of the LSE Education Strategy 2015-2020.
Working closely with colleagues across the School, in particular the Pro-Director Education and those in the Academic Registrar’s Division, Communications Division and fellow Academic and Professional Development Division units, its work includes:
LSE Education Strategy 2015-2020 co-ordination
The ESU co-ordinates the recording of activity and reporting of progress on LSE Education Strategy 2015-2020. This is done principally through the LSE Education Strategy Project Board, which it services, and whose terms of reference and membership will be published here once they are formally agreed in Michaelmas Term. For more on the background to LSE’s Education Strategy 2015-2020, and to read the Strategy itself, see the LSE Education Strategy 2015-2020 page.
Communication and promotion of education at LSE
Working with colleagues in LSE’s Communications Division, the ESU plans and delivers activity that promotes education at LSE – from films for students and features about LSE teaching, to formal updates on Education Strategy activity. Specifically, it also:
Funding for educational activity
ESU administers the new LSE Pro-Director Vision Fund which supports the development of LSE programmes that encourage academic learning and the acquisition of disciplinary and inter-disciplinary knowledge among students, as well as the development and delivery of projects that enhance more broadly the educational experience of LSE's taught students.
