Developing your Teaching Workshops
Our Developing Your Teaching workshops aim to support your practice beyond Foundations in Teaching (FiT), equipping you with knowledge and ideas to enhance your student education practice and supporting your continuing development. The workshops are open to anyone involved in student education practice no matter what your role is.
These workshops cover a wide range of student education practice topics including designing and delivering teaching, supporting and guiding students, assessment and feedback, inclusive teaching practice, and evaluation of practice.
They will highlight current approaches and theories in pedagogy and teaching to help you stay up to date and engage with new practice, introduce you to practical strategies you can implement in your own practice.
The workshops are all stand-alone and some may be of more relevance to you than others, so you can book onto the ones most useful for you, your role, and areas of development. Some workshops will be repeated and others will be one-offs.
Workshop facilitators
Some workshops will be delivered by the Student Education Development (OD&PL), and some will be co-developed and delivered with other teams including the Skills@ Library Learning Development team, the Disability Advisory team, and the Student Partnerships Advisory team, as well as academic colleagues. This will give you the opportunity to connect with colleagues right across the university from a range of teams and disciplines to learn from others.
For full details of individual workshops and to book your place please see the Calendar of Events for further information.

2 July - Diversifying and Enriching your Reading List: A Toolkit from the Library
- 2 July - 2pm - 3.30pm (On campus)
Co-delivered by OD&PL and the University Library, this in-person workshop introduces a new toolkit to help academic colleagues diversify and enrich their reading lists.
Aimed at teaching staff, it will cover the value of diverse reading lists, the challenges and opportunities of decolonisation, and how the Library can support this work. You'll explore practical tools and reflect on your own practice.
Participants will also have the chance to give feedback on the toolkit before its official launch.

- 22 July - 10am - 11am (Online)
This online workshop is for anyone involved in student education who designs or delivers student induction - whether at programme, module, or class level, including teaching assistants, technicians, and professional services staff.
You'll explore ways to make inductions more engaging and effective, helping students better retain key information during what can be an overwhelming time for them.
The session includes examples of active and creative induction methods, hands-on activities, and opportunities to connect with colleagues and reflect on how to apply these ideas in your own practice.

We would also welcome sessions delivered by anyone involved in student education practice at Leeds to give you the opportunity to showcase your practice to colleagues. This does not need to be connected to research and can be CPD based on your practice. If you would be interested in delivering a Developing Your Teaching session on a topic of your choice, please get in contact with academicdev@leeds.ac.uk and include "Developing Your Teaching" in the email subject.
