Introduction

Welcome to UNSW as a teaching academic

This is a resource to support Sessional Teachers at UNSW in their teaching and professional development.  It is structured with YOU – the Sessional academic – at its centre and links to a range of theoretical and practical support organised around seven fundamental questions that you may ask yourself about your teaching. There is also some administrative information to help you survive your initial employment.

Pages include summaries, practical checklists and guides as well as some short videos and external links to illustrate the principles of good learning and teaching.

Click on the buttons to follow the links for general and more specific information towards answering each question.

Links to Faculty Learning and Teaching sites are provided above, where discipline-specific support is also availalble.
