turer working towards D2
I am a Senior Lecturer and have been working at Imperial for six years. I arrived at Imperial having taught
courses at other universities for a number of years. I have chaired examination boards and examined at PhD
level. Since joining Imperial I have also been an external examiner for another university in London. I have
attended faculty specific training at Imperial in addition to the mandatory training; however, I haven’t
completed a formal teaching qualification as I feel that my experience, together with the professional
development I have undertaken, has enabled me to become an effective teacher.
Teaching Fellow working towards D2
I am a Teaching Fellow at Imperial, I was taken on specifically to teach and I have prepared and deliver
teaching across all three years of our undergraduate course, but teach mostly the first and second years. I
also design and mark course work and exam questions and have recently designed some extra revision
tutorials for the final years. I have attended Faculty training and several EDU teaching workshops. I really
enjoy teaching and want to take it further; I see my career heading in that direction. I have enrolled on the
EDU’s PGCert in University Learning and Teaching; I want HEA fellowship and plan to try and continue on to
the MEd if possible, as I am interested and think this might help me make a case for promotion.
Clinician working towards D2
I work as a physician at a teaching hospital and I am involved in teaching medical students at Imperial. I see
small groups of students three or four times a week for bedside teaching sessions aimed at providing some
contextualised teaching. This role involves giving both oral and written feedback to students. I also
contribute to a second year module on nutrition which involves lecturing the whole year group with a series
of follow up seminars with small groups. My interest in teaching developed after attending a number of CPD
sessions on teaching skills for clinicians and I am currently enrolled on the PG Cert in University Learning and
Teaching at Imperial. If time permits, I may progress on to the Diploma and then complete the full Master’s
programme.
Lecturer working towards D3
I am a senior lecturer and have a significant teaching load. I taught for several years at another UK university
where I completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice and gained fellowship of the HEA. I am
keen to apply for promotion and would like to get formal recognition for the teaching experience that I have.
I oversee the delivery of teaching across a range of our courses and I make sure that the GTAs and others
who contribute to delivery know what is required of them. I have a large part to play in assessment and run
our examination board at the end of each year. I help with the faculty training of new academic staff and
regularly do teaching observations and give feedback about teaching. I play an active part in the faculty
teaching committee and was recently nominated for a student teaching award. I still undertake some
research in my field, but my role has expanded to include more teaching and administrative duties and I
enjoy the day-to-day contact with students that teaching offers.
