Continue your Professional Development
TLS invites you to follow trainings to continue improving your professional skills as an educator.
Looking back at successful trainings held recently…
Last month, the Speed Grading workshop brought together educators from TU Delft, the University of Leiden and Erasmus University. During the workshop participants delved into various strategies for streamlining the grading process. Topics ranged from quick fixes to more comprehensive assessment adaptations, including the development and use of rubrics as well as diverse feedback methods. It was a true pleasure to exchange best practices across faculties and universities. In case you missed it, there’s a new session planned on April 25th.
The Board of Studies workshop series was completed in January. A total of 64 students and lecturers members of the Board of Studies received training this season to become familiar with their roles and responsibilities. A new series of training sessions will be scheduled in the fall.
