Resources for recently appointed lecturers
The English Subject Centre hopes that recently appointed lecturers will make their own increasing use of our website and other resources. Those resources include our printed publications, and our programme of workshops and events. Resources available on the web site include case studies, reports on departmental projects, our interactive web collection of teaching ideas Teaching Texts and Topics (T3), and our Teaching Library. Like the Higher Education Academy Website, the Subject Centre site provides a gateway to a vast range of resources. Our Newsletters and copies of our printed reports are sent to all English departments and subject groups. If for some reason colleagues are not receiving these, they should contact the Subject Centre directly.
Broadly speaking, we suggest that attendance at selected events, coupled with reading among our materials can be woven together by individuals (for example in their assessed portfolios) to form a powerful subject-specific supplement to the training they undertake within accredited programmes. With a view to continuing professional development, we are exploring the feasibility of issuing certificates outlining event content to those attending events.
