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
