Academic Professional Pathway for Teaching Excellence (APP TE)
Welcome to APP TE!
APP TE is Warwick's learning and teaching development course for staff who are new to the university. The course is 12-months long, part-time, blended learning, and confers Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) on completion. APP TE is a practice-based course, with a mixture of face-to-face workshops, asynchronous online content, and peer learning. Participants will develop their teaching practice, covering topics like assessment and feedback, module design, student engagement, independent learning and professional values. Participants should expect to spend about 8 hours per month on the course, plus some extra time for teaching observations and the summative assessment.
