Dear Nancy
At Leeds Met we said all researchers who teach had to do a 3 day introductory block called 'In at the deep end' devised by our National Teaching Fellows and run 3 times a year. We wrote it into institutional strategy and monitored take up.
We produced a written guide, also called 'In at the deep end' to accompany the workshop, written by Phil Race and gave this to all our new teachers. I will ask my colleague Teresa Pioro to send you a paper copy of this. Like all our Leeds Met Publications, we give paper versions away fairly freely in the hope that people will buy site licenses enabling you to produce the resource locally at your own university. Please talk to Teresa if you would like to discuss this
Best wishes
Sally

Subject: Graduate/Research Students Teaching at Your University?
We are looking at making it mandatory for all graduate students to fulfill a teaching requirement. At present students work here only as research students and whether they end up with teaching duties or not is case- and department/faculty-dependent.
I would like to find resources and/or answers about common practices in making teaching mandatory for all students (including the mechanism behind such a mandate), the maximum number of weekly work hours mandated, remuneration and duration of graduate study, etc.
Our ideas are still exploratory at this point, so any kind of help or pointing or prodding in the right direction would be appreciated.
