Frequently asked questions
1. Is the P&P program for me?
Experienced staff report that the program
provides a good opportunity for reflection and renewal as teachers. It
is also particularly suitable for beginning academics, graduate students
and less experienced staff. The program forms part of the Institute for
Teaching and Learning (ITL)'s
Graduate
Certificate, so if you are interested
in that course, you would have to complete the program first. University
policy now requires many new staff to complete the program as a condition
of their appointment.
2. Who can do the program?
The program is designed for teaching staff of
the University.
For the P&P
program the following staff will be prioritised:
- Those who inform us that they are required to complete the program
as a condition of their appointment;
- Those intending to enrol in the Graduate Certificate.
3. What does the program cost?
The P&P program is free if you are a member
of staff at the University.
4. Where and when does the program take place?
The P&P programs currently run in February,
June, October and November. They will all take place on the Camperdown (Main)
Campus in Carslaw Building, on the same level as the ITL.
The programs run from 9.15 am to 4.30 pm on 3 consecutive days, with lunch
provided.
5. Do I have to attend every session?
Yes. In order to receive a Certificate of
Attendance for the program you must attend all sessions. The first
morning is regarded as an essential foundation for all other sessions.
If you have to be absent for an unexpected reason, we will
ask you to make up one or both of those days in a later program.
6. Do I receive formal certification that I have completed the course or program?
Yes. If you successfully complete the Principles
and Practice program you will receive a Certificate from the ITL.
