Working as a PGR Tutor while undertaking your PhD or Research Master's can be a rewarding experience.
To assist you to the UL Centre for Transformative Learning (CTL) offer workshops aimed at PGRs who are new, or relatively new, to teaching at UL.
One such example is the Introduction to Tteaching in Higher Education modules which are run in the Autumn and Spring semesters.
Over two days, each workshop focuses on key areas related to teaching in Higher Education and provide a set of ideas and methods to help prepare PGRs for a new role in relation to developing their approach to teaching and learning.
Day one focuses on the teaching context, the relationship between teaching and learning and building learning communities, while day two explores active learning strategies, student centred approaches and embedding assessment.
The sessions will guide you through the following:
- Developing your personal approach to teaching and learning.
- Planning effective and engaging classes.
- Approaches for encouraging student engagement.
- Understanding the role of assessment and feedback in the learning process.
These workshops are an excellent starting point for developing the skills and confidence to thrive in your dual role as a researcher and educator.
