We are using professional dialogue for our non formal route to UK PSF on our CPD framework, and are building resources to support experienced academics develop
their teaching. I would say this short to the point resource would be very appealing to some of them.
Thanks, John

PS if you want to know more about our professional dialogue route, I have put up loads of materials on it on the website:

Most people have to get started before they’ve had time to get into the vast array of issues that might be explored. Sometimes I do an informal introductory
session for people about to teach (postgraduates and researchers), and in an hour and a half there isn’t time to do much more than get them thinking about who their students will be, how they see themselves in the role and then some very basic things about
planning.
Eventually, they will be involved in a more detailed programme of teacher education, but for many there’s a gap and some simple resources could be valuable
as long as their limitation are made very clear. That said, wouldn’t something more searchable/encyclopaedic be more accessible? Perhaps a wiki?

I am not entirely convinced about a "Bluffer's Guide to University Teaching" or "University Teaching for Dummies" or whatever, which is what these checklists could easily become.

Dear Colleagues,
I’m working on a little booklet for people just starting out in HE teaching at my place, particularly PhD students, and I found myself playing with the idea of `things to think about’, based on that old `53 ways’ idea (or was it 50 ways to leave your lover?),
but this time based on the magic number `7’. It’s ended up as `77 things to think about…’
If anyone out there has the time or inclination I’d be interested in what you make of it – is it a sensible idea; what have I got wrong; what have I missed; what would you have included, etc., etc. ??? And happy to forward on the finished product if anyone
would be interested???
Thanks
John
