Firstly we’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for teaching our students. Our role as the Teacher Development Leads is to help with you educational training needs and help you flourish and grow as teachers.
All KUMEC teachers are required to demonstrate ongoing CPD with regards to your teaching portfolio. We encourage all new tutors to attend/complete our core modules over the first two years of teaching with us, and then 2 sessions per year of teacher training. This can be a mix of online modules our yearly conference and workshops.
We have developed a set of Mastering Skills workshops which can enable you to work towards membership of the Academy of Medical Educators. This is done with three essays written over a maximum time frame of three years with formative feedback from the Teacher Development Leads and progression expected in your academic writing style and teaching reflections based on these. We also have a peer review/support system in place. If you would like to organise a peer review of your teaching please do contact Dr Rini Paul if you are interested to find out more, there is remuneration available for the peer reviewer.
We look forward to working with you and wish you every success and joy with your teaching. If you have any suggestions or ideas about Teacher Development don't hesitate to share them with us.
