Teaching Strategy Exchange

Following on from the Education Day event, a form has been set up to share information about teaching strategies used at Imperial. If you would like to share information about a teaching strategy that you have used, that would enable another Imperial staff member to develop it for their context, please complete the online form.

Teaching Fellow Network

The College-wide Teaching Fellow Network supports the sharing of teaching innovation and best practice as well as career development, scholarship and publication. If you are interested in joining the Network, please contact Dr Anita Hall.

This workshop opens by outlining the Imperial STAR Framework and the HEA’s UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF).

This pre-submission workshop employs a combination of self-assessment, peer-assessment and tutor input to assess each participant's learning outcomes and practice against the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF).
