This induction course is aimed at people who have started teaching mathematics in UK higher education institutions within the last three years, whether they are new graduates or coming from industry or from outside the UK. In the past, attendance has been recognised as contributing towards some introductory institutional programmes in learning and teaching for new staff (certificated or otherwise and depending on institution). |

The course will start with an afternoon session on 16 September and finish at lunchtime on 17 September. |
|
Topics will include - Teaching and supporting learning - Design and planning of learning activities - Assessment and feedback - Systems to support learning - The computer environment - Sharing experience |
|
The course will take place in the School of Mathematics and Statistics in the University of Birmingham, with accommodation within easy walking distance. The cost will be kept as low as possible with a subsidy from the Maths, Stats & OR Network. |
