CPD-T for UTQ-qualified Lecturers

CPD-T for UTQ-qualified lecturers

CPD-T (Continuing Professional Development in Teaching) stimulates and facilitates staff members to keep developing themselves in advanced teaching and learning competencies, also after reaching a UTQ level. CPD-T is aimed at lecturers at a UTQ-qualified level with at least 160 hours of education per year.

Funds are available to incentivise CPD-T activities, based on 24 hours per UTQ-qualified lecturer per year. For this, a multi-annual plan per department is requested on a yearly basis, in which common professionalisation goals and needs can be described. The BMS Teaching Academy will allocate budget and help in further supporting these plans. Of course, a lecturer can also develop a personal CPD-T plan in adjustment with their section chair.

Department plan

Steps to take:

1. Appoint contact person(s) with BMS Teaching Academy
2. Start with section/department multi-year plan; inventory of needs and wishes
3. Inventory of needed support and activities
4. Arrange time for activities
5. Evaluate yearly and adjust multi-year plan
   1. The FJUT conversations / annual reviews are an excellent medium for this evaluation

3. Discuss with your manager. Funds are available per department for CPD-T related activities
4. Annually evaluate your progress and adjust multi-year plan
   1. The FJUT conversations / annual reviews are an excellent medium for this evaluation
