Re: [Phd-behsci] Teaching accreditation for PhDs

Hi Jayne, Thank you for sharing this information! It sounds promising that the Taught Route now seems to be open for PhDs. This wasn’t the case last year. I hope that the taught route being “at capacity” thereby excluding PhDs ipso facto won’t be a recurring thing. In other words, I hope that the taught route now being open to PhDs is not merely a change "on paper” but that it will also be an option for you, in practice. If any of you are interested in getting teaching accreditation (HEA Associate Fellowship), I would encourage you to apply: https://www.stir.ac.uk/about/professional-services/information-services-and… This will be mainly of interest to those of you who aspire a career in academia, as hiring committees look at this sort of accreditation for early career researchers.

Katie and I had a drop-in session with Beth Cairns from Learning and Teaching Enhancement regarding the teaching accreditation. Notes from our call: * There are two routes the taught and experiential route * The taught route is at capacity right now with people who need to do it as part of their probation * But, confusingly, the experiential route does include taught sessions, we would get support and even a mentor if we wanted. * The next feasible round would be starting in the new year. So for those that are interested we need to submit an application. * Beth also mentioned that there is a course called "new to teaching" which might run again in the new year and could complement the experiential route but dates TBC as the woman who delivers this is still on mat leave for the next month or so. See the previous email from Beth with more info.

I am so jealous of your topics. To summarise our conversation: The experiential route is open to you and from what you shared it sounds like you are both great candidates for Associate Fellow. Please find the Associate Fellow guidance here: https://stir.sharepoint.com/sites/learningteaching/SitePages/Appl.aspx Please be aware that our cohorts that begin after this calendar year will all be moving to the new 2023 PSF here: PSF 2023 - Screen Reader Compatible - final_1675089549.pdf<https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.creode.ad… Once you have had a chance to think about what you would like to do please email our coordinator Emma Gilbert at academicdevelopment@stir.ac.uk<mailto:academicdevelopment@stir.ac.uk> to register your interest for the cohort. She will then get back to you at a later stage with dates etc. We also discussed New to Teaching which you may decide to join in the new year. Our dates for this are yet to be confirmed as our colleague has not yet returned from Mat leave but once the dates are confirmed they will appear on our Events<https://stir.sharepoint.com/sites/learningteaching/_layouts/15/Ev… page alongside our other CPD and trainings. Please do not hesitate to get back to me if you have any questions and enjoy the rest of the day!
