Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
This year's CPD series will launch shortly. Sessions will begin in mid-October, after the initial rush of semester one has passed.
This year's five strand titles will be:
- Blended Learning
- Skills Development
- Inclusivity & Internationalisation
- Curriculum Development
- Graduate Attributes
Our strand themes reflect the University's strategic learning and teaching priorities, and individual sessions will include topics requested by University of Glasgow staff.
If you have any suggestions for topics you'd like to see covered either this coming year or in the future, contact LEADS-CPD@glasgow.ac.uk.
Eligibility
This series is open to staff of the University of Glasgow, and keynote sessions delivered by external speakers are also open to staff of our validated institutions.
Graduate Teaching Assistants are welcome to register for the purpose of developing their own teaching practice, but please note that these sessions are not suitable for any students seeking training for their own PhD research projects. Contact your School for information on the research methods training available to you as a student.
