Training & Resources
The School offers internal training, designed to provide Informatics specific advice to tutors, demonstrators, markers, teaching assistants and other hourly paid staff appointed by Informatics Student Services. Annual tutor training sessions are run in week 1 of first semester, these paid sessions are open to all PGR students who have previously tutored, or are considering tutoring during the following session. During semester we hold three meetings covering specific topics timed to support teaching during the semester.
Additionally we have developed a pathway to Higher Education Academy (HEA) accreditation for our tutors, demonstrators and teaching assistants. The documents below outline the possibilities. The School will cover the cost of all HEA accreditation applications.
- Teaching Development for Tutors and Demonstrators in Informatics
- Collecting Feedback on your Teaching
Note also that, in addition, the University's Institute for Academic Development (IAD) provides a range of useful resources, particularly designed for teaching staff, tutors and demonstrators. Students appointed as HTBN staff are strongly encouraged to attend the orientation courses if they cannot access Informatics induction (you are entitled to claim for attendance at these sessions, using your monthly timesheet):
