DESCRIPTION:Dear Academic Colleagues\,\n\nFSE Teaching Seminar\,  Wednesd
 ay 9th November 2-3pm\, Room F14\, Renold Building.\n\nGTA Training - Pl
 ans\, Pilots & Progress\nDr. Jenny Slaughter\, School of Chemistry\n\nPh
 D students play a vital role as Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs)\, de
 livering teaching & learning to undergraduate students\; this interactio
 n means PhD students have a significant impact on the undergraduate expe
 rience. Simultaneously\, demonstrating duties impact on PhD students on 
 their time\, their sense of worth and on their continuous professional d
 evelopment. It is vital then that GTAs are able to deliver quality teach
 ing and learning and that this is recognized and rewarded. We believe th
 at enhancing departmental training with a carefully constructed\, compli
 mentary Faculty course will lead to quality learning environments and en
 hance student satisfaction\, as well as provide development opportunitie
 s for the next generation of academics.\nThis seminar will outline the p
 roposed modular structure for an interlinked department-level-Faculty-le
 vel GTA training programme. We will discuss how the content has been ide
 ntified: from discussions with departments to take into account both the
  generic teaching and learning requirements\, as well as the specific ne
 eds of different departmental roles\; to mapping against UK Professional
  Standards Framework (UKPSF)\, enabling attainment of Associate Fellowsh
 ip of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).\nWe will demonstrate the finer
  structure of modules intended to deliver this content. We will discuss 
 the necessity for face-to-face time\, to allow attendees to experience l
 earning in a manner in which they are asked to deliver it. How the use o
 f "flipped learning" can enable content to be delivered without the nece
 ssity for lengthy lectures. Consequently\, how this allows face-to-face 
 workshop time to be shorter\, manageable\, task-based and authentic.\nIn
  September and October of this year\, a small scale pilot was run to tri
 al three of the modules. The pilot involved staff and students from Chem
 istry\, CEAS and the e-Learning Team. We will summarize the sessions the
 mselves\, as well as the feedback and evaluation of these first modules.
  Finally\, we will also outline how we are seeking to monitor\, evaluate
  and improve the impact of the training course for the future.\nThe sess
 ion will be followed by an opportunity to discuss the proposed Faculty l
 evel training. Several members of the Faculty have already volunteered t
 o be involved in the project and we hope that this seminar will allow ot
 her interested parties to become involved.\n\nTo register\, Please follo
