Supporting Teachers who Support Student Transition: Why, What, & How.Striving for inclusive excellence in higher education: what can be learnt from the START project
The event will share resources created by five European universities and a European youth NGO who have worked together on the Erasmus+ START project funded by the European Union, resources aimed at:
(1) making HE teachers aware of challenges first-year undergraduate students face, and the important role those who teach first-year undergraduates have in student transition to HE;
(2) supporting HE teachers in reflection on their own teaching practices – in relation to how effective these are in supporting student transition to HE (so as to identify own strengths and next professional development goals);
(3) helping those who teach first-year undergraduates find tools and tips for the challenges they face as teachers (in supporting first-year undergraduates); and
(4) creating links with the pre-HE sector.
