Developing essential teaching competencies for the modern higher education landscape.
In a rapidly evolving educational landscape characterised by digital transformation, diverse student populations, and changing expectations, educators need adaptive teaching strategies more than ever. Our Teaching Skills Masterclasses are designed to equip faculty with practical tools and approaches to:
- Navigate hybrid learning environments that balance flexibility with engagement
- Implement inclusive teaching practices to support increasingly diverse student cohorts
- Integrate digital technologies that enhance rather than complicate the learning experience
- Develop authentic assessment strategies that prepare students for real-world challenges
- Foster student wellbeing and resilience alongside academic achievement
The Teaching Skills Masterclass offers a flexible and evidence-based solution for the development of university-level teachers, drawing on Advance HE’s extensive global experience delivering teacher development programmes across the UK, Asia, Africa, Australasia, Europe and the Middle East.
This programme is only available for institutional purchase and is not run as an open programme for individuals.
Who will benefit
This Masterclass is designed for staff who are open to innovative approaches that can transform their teaching practice. Particularly valuable for:
Staff who are new to teaching in higher education seeking to build a strong foundation of effective teaching practices
Academic staff with teaching experience looking to refresh their approaches and incorporate evidence-based innovations
Departmental groups seeking to develop consistent, high-quality teaching approaches across programmes
The participants have all returned to their respective universities, inspired to start using the techniques and tools so competently demonstrated by the Advance HE team, and to share their new-found knowledge and skills with their colleagues.
