Part-time teachers network Part-time teachers one day conference (12 June 2007) The aim of this one day conference is to consider how part-time teachers in HE may be better supported and developed. There is a wide diversity of part-time tutors and associate lecturers who may also be postgraduate students or external professionals contributing to teaching. The Academy has established the UK-wide Part-Time Teachers Network Planning Group in order to improve provision of support. The conference will report on the work of this group including disseminating evidence gathered for the purpose of identifying good practice in institutions. The conference is intended to actively involve delegates in discussions on: * Issues for part-time teachers and catalysts for addressing these issues * Effective approaches to support and development * Creating and sustaining a strategic infrastructure for support at institutional level The conference is aimed at senior staff involved with educational and academic development or with the management of part-time teaching staff. The day will be facilitated by members of the Part-Time Teachers Network Planning Group, part-time teachers themselves and colleagues in universities where good practice has already been implemented. The conference will be held at: London Metropolitan University 166-220 Holloway Road London N7 8DB Registration is at 10:30am and the conference will close at 4:00pm.
