Workshops Offered by LATEU
LATEU runs a full programme of free professional development workshops and themed events which are open to all staff. You can request a place using the application form.
Workshops are either half-day or full-day sessions led by a tutor. They usually combine presentations with group discussion and practical exercises.
- Level One workshops are aimed at new teaching staff and those with experience who wish to review their skills. Some are also suitable for postgraduate students with teaching responsibilities.
- Level Two workshops are aimed at teaching staff with some experience who are looking to develop their practice.
- Level Three workshops are aimed at staff with course leadership responsibilities or supervisors of postgraduate research students.
Themed events are full-day sessions which start with a morning of presentations or activities led by tutors and support staff with real experience of the topic. Over lunch there will be a ‘drop-in’ session that provides an overview of the topic – there is no need to book for this part. The afternoon will focus on developing skills through practical exercises and individual support. There is no expectation that every participant has to attend the whole event.
Other events are planned, such as Meeting of Minds on specific themes for more experienced tutors, to provide them with an opportunity to share and learn from each other. Details of these will be announced later - you can keep in touch by:
- subscribing to our email list.
- looking at our newsletter blog, which has an RSS feed.
- keeping an eye on our website’s home page.
See also: the Professional Development Opportunities booklet (PDF), which lists training sessions provided by the Staff Development unit and other providers across the University.
See also: the Research and Innovation Services seminar programme, which aims to help researchers get the most from their research and industry collaborations.
