Teaching and Supporting Learning Module
Postgraduate Students receiving their certificates of completion for the Teaching and Supporting Learning Module in 2012-2013 at a ceremony with the Dean of Graduate Studies and the facilitator Dr. Anne Markey on Monday 13th May 2013
Two-part development programme for postgraduate teaching assistants. There is no charge for attending this module.
Part I: Introduction to Teaching and Supporting Learning is one day foundation course designed for postgraduates new to teaching or considering taking on a teaching role. This course must be undertaken before starting Part II of the module.
Part II: Teaching and Supporting Learning is a short, structured credit-bearing module aimed at postgraduate teaching assistants that want to further develop their teaching practice and understanding of student learning. Sessions are held throughout the term and participants are expected to create a portfolio of evidence of their teaching practices. You must be teaching at least two hours per week or 12 hours during the semester in which the module is undertaken.
The full module descriptor provides more detail about the module, including the ECTS credits available upon successful completion of this course. In addition, all attendees that attend the module and complete a portfolio receive a CAPSL certificate of completion.

New to Teaching Toolkit
The HEA has launched a new online New to Teaching Toolkit http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/new-to-teaching-toolkit for those starting out on, or returning to, a higher education teaching career.
The New to Teaching Toolkit contains guidance, literature and exercises in the areas of assessment, feedback, large and small group teaching, as well as developing and working with open educational resources (OER).
It draws on the experiences of new and experienced academic staff from across the disciplines and their reflections on the challenges and opportunities of teaching in higher education in the UK.
In a series of videos, colleagues consider what has worked for them in the classroom and what may work for others. The toolkit also contains information that you can work through at your own pace.
It will be updated with new resources as they become available.
