GTA Hours survey is now live!

Warwick Postgraduate Teaching Community have now launched their GTA Hours survey! The purpose of the study is to survey postgraduate researchers who teach (known as GTAs) at Warwick to find out if their contracted teaching hours align with the time they actually spend preparing for and delivering teaching, as well as assisting their students.

GTA Tips and Tricks Workshop Series - Session #3 - 18th August

Are you thinking about making the next step in your academic research career and becoming a graduate teaching assistant? Do you have any anxieties, reservations, or questions about what teaching might entail, whether it's right for you, or how you should approach the application process?

Warwick PTC are organising a series of regular sessions dedicated to answering all of these questions, hosted by current Warwick GTAs and sessional lecturers, in an honest, helpful community forum. Our next session will be held on August 18th, and will cover session planning, assessment and feedback to students.

It will be a great place to introduce yourself and meet new / current GTAs or those who are hoping to teach next academic year.

Deadline Extended: Journal of PGR Pedagogic Practice - Call For Abstracts - 8th July 2022

The Warwick Postgraduate Teaching Community are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the second issue of the Journal of PGR Pedagogic Practice (JPPP), centred around the theme of ‘Virtual, physical or somewhere in between: Postgraduate Pedagogies in the wake of the pandemic'. We invite article submissions for pieces discussing all aspects of the PGR teacher experience.

The pilot issue of the JPPP launched last autumn, and featured articles which reflected primarily on teaching during the pandemic, and the particular challenges (or opportunities) presented when teaching virtually. For the second issue of the JPPP, we encourage submissions which continue to reflect on virtual and hybrid teaching, but also those which consider the move back towards face-to-face teaching. We invite both short critical reflections, and more substantial research led pieces from all PGRs and ECRs who teach in any capacity and in any discipline at Warwick and beyond. We also welcome pieces from those who support the professional development of PGRs, and those involved with pedagogy outside of the typical university teaching structure, such as student-led research projects, continued professional development.
