Programme in Skills of Teaching to Inspire Learning (inSTIL)

Who is inSTIL for?

• Postgraduate tutors
• Visiting Lecturers (non-established teachers)
• Staff who teach at Royal Holloway (e.g. technicians)

The programme is available to any individual with teaching duties (lead or as part of a team at Royal Holloway) and is required for any postgraduate in a lead teaching role. Please note that you must be teaching at the time you are participating in inSTIL, as teaching observations are an important part of the programme.

What is inSTIL?

The Programme has been designed to be highly interactive and will give you the maximum opportunity to develop your skills as a university teacher, to share ideas with your peers, and to determine what approaches will work in your own teaching situations. The course is accredited by the Higher Education Academy. This means that you will automatically qualify for Associate Membership of the academy after successful completion of this programme. If you have any questions, please contact the EDC (edc@rhul.ac.uk).

When does inSTIL start?

inSTIL introductory days will run on October 13th, 14th and 20th 2009 (you need attend only one). The other sessions will run over the Autumn and Spring terms.
