ATLASS is Arden University’s continuous professional development framework. It comprises four themes; Learning, teaching, and assessment, Student success, Academic excellence, Research, scholarship, and ethics. ATLASS supports the use of common language and approach across the university to design, deliver, and implement staff development and training programmes.
