ECP staff in the Faculty meet on a regular basis so that practices can be shared and built on; with primary emphasis on curriculum development, foundation provisions and student support. Plan and lead ECP staff development initiatives with the Institutional ECP Coordinator and relevant HODs. Ensure that the selection and placement of students onto the ECP is done according to Faculty, Institutional and DHET ECP guidelines, and together with departmental coordinators ensure that ECP enrolment targets are met and monitored. DHET funding is appropriately allocated to departmental cost centres and work with HODs to ensure that it is correctly and timeously spent. ECP student progress is monitored and required support or curriculum changes are initiated in order to meet student needs. On-going ECP project management and review including investigations of ECP student retention and success within and beyond the programmers as compared to the normal programme is undertaken. Ensure that innovative best practices in ECP teaching, learning and assessment are promoted. Programme reports are submitted to the Institutional ECP Coordinator and DHET as required. Serve as the faculty liaison to other institutional committees on matters related to ECP. Keep a departmental academic load (i.e. lecture at least one subject; supervise PG students).
