Support for staff who teach
We are here to support all staff who wish to develop their teaching, regardless of career stage or contract type.
- Develop as a reflective practitioner and consider the design and delivery of teaching in depth via the Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice (PGCAP), which provides a supportive, interdisciplinary community of practice.
- Shorter teaching workshops run by the Academic Staff Development Programme (ASDP) on particular topics offer a less intensive option, and Education and Student Experience, CELPiE also organises events.
- Develop your skills in Technology Enhanced Learning
- For external recognition of your skills in teaching or supporting student learning, apply for a category of HEA Fellowship via the St Andrews Recognition Scheme
The links below provide more information on all of these areas of support. We are here to help - please get in touch with any questions or suggestions!
