Starter kit teaching - fall of 2024

The offer described below is held in German.

Successfully mastering the start of teaching 

With the “Teaching Starter Kit”, the University of Potsdam offers new employees support to avoid jumping straight into the deep end of teaching. The program is aimed in particular at academic staff who have been employed at the University of Potsdam for less than twelve months and are taking on teaching duties.

The three-dayprogram aims to make it easier for you to start your new job and systematically prepare you for your everyday teaching life. You will be provided with concrete assistance and useful tools. Examination law, campus management system, course planning, e-learning, diversity-sensitive teaching and teaching evaluation are among the components of the starter package. Short inputs are combined with phases of self-learning and trial and error so that you are well prepared for your own teaching at the end of the event. 

We look forward to your participation!
