Support for academic staff with teaching responsibilities comprises a series of events to welcome colleagues and introduce the key Coventry University Group principles of active, social, applied and inclusive teaching, learning and assessment.
You will have the opportunity to participate in an Induction for Teaching Staff Workshop, exchange practice with peers within a dedicated New Academics Network Programme (NANP) and explore pedagogy, practice and Coventry University Group guidance on carrying out the practical aspects of your role.
Participate, Exchange, and Explore
Induction for Teaching Staff Workshops are delivered on-line several times per semester by Academic Developers from Academic Enhancement and Professional Development (AEPD). These build upon information shared within the general staff induction sessions and offer opportunities to meet colleagues, discuss the Coventry University Group approach to teaching, learning and assessment, and be signposted to resources, practices, and systems. To participate please visit the course booking system to register to attend the next event.
Explore the Academic Development Programme of workshops and glossary for next steps and insights into key terms used within Coventry University Group and across the Higher Education sector more broadly.
For further information about any of the Induction for Teaching Staff events, please email the administration team at aepd@coventry.ac.uk who will be happy to help.
New Academics Network Programme
The New Academics Network Programme (NANP) offers the opportunity to connect with colleagues, continue to ask and answer questions, and exchange practice within a dedicated NANP MS Teams site. You will be automatically added to the NANP site after completing your Induction for Teaching Staff workshop, or you can click the link below to request to join at any time.
Our NANP Presents online activities run monthly with invited speakers coming along to each session to share their expertise from different parts of the Coventry University Group. Past speakers include colleagues from the Educational Technology team, Registry, and Research Enriched Learning. The meetings offer you space for conversation, questions, and practice-sharing, and are a great way to explore the support on offer from a range of sources. Presentations are recorded so that they can be accessed retrospectively.
