Abstract
TALIC provides individualized support for teachers in who are seeking to take their teaching in new directions. We have a liaison in each faculty ready to assist you. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to meet our team and learn about the tailor-made support we can provide to meet your needs.
In addition, this workshop will provide an overview of the Teaching Development Grant (TDG) scheme and stimulate your thinking about a project that would help to develop and promote teaching and learning in the university. Facilitated by a faculty liaison, teachers will have the chance to brainstorm and discuss their ideas in groups, organized according to priority areas. This is a valuable opportunity for those seeking cross-discipline partnerships. Given the deadline for the next round is on Friday, 27 December 2024, if you have various questions, such as whether you should apply, if you are qualified to apply, or what the expectations are, don’t miss out on this chance to find out more about the TDG scheme and connect with fellow teaching enthusiasts!
