Teaching Accelerator Program

What is the Teaching Accelerator Program?

The Teaching Accelerator Program (TAP) introduces academics to teaching at UNSW Sydney. This highly practical program connects new teaching staff with a community of peers to explore:

  • What great teaching looks like

  • Who our students are and what they need

  • How to create positive learning experiences

  • The importance of community for learning

  • Where to start as a teacher at UNSW, including UNSW systems, processes and standards

Participants are connected with a peer mentor who provides support and guidance in a small peer group throughout the participant’s first year at UNSW.

 

Who should participate in the Teaching Accelerator Program?

Combined track and EF academics new to UNSW Sydney who have teaching responsibilities should register for the Teaching Accelerator Program. It is suitable both for those new to teaching and experienced teachers who are new to UNSW. Any staff required to complete Foundations in University Learning and Teaching (FULT) as a condition of employment should register for the Teaching Accelerator Program, which is a recognised alternative to FULT. Staff at the Canberra campus are still required to do FULT.

 

Research-focused academics, postdoctoral researchers and research fellows are not required to do TAP, but may do Beginning to Teach or FULT if they wish to develop their teaching. Conjoint appointments in the Faculty of Medicine & Health must do the C-Med Program. 

 

When is the Teaching Accelerator Program offered? 

The Teaching Accelerator Program (TAP) workshops have already commenced for 2022 and we look forward to running these again in 2023. In the meantime, please register your interest here to receive information about TAP in 2023 and participating in the Peer Orientation Development Support (PODS) groups, a core component of TAP, in Term 3 2022.

 


Where do I sign up?

Please complete this registration form to be included in the next Teaching Accelerator Program. You will receive a confirmation email and we will be in touch in the next few months with more details.
