PSDP Programme: Teaching and assessment during the Covid-19 Pandemic: How can we help?How can we help? (Generating Ideas)
FBMH's Pedagogic and Staff Development Programme (PSDP) was established to ensure that all those contributing to Faculty programmes can engage with sound pedagogy and share best practice in teaching, learning and student experience.
The PSDP team are still on hand to support and enhance your teaching practice, though the circumstances have changed immeasurably. It would be difficult to think of an aspect of our lives that hasn’t been touched by the Covid-19 pandemic and our thoughts are with everyone facing this, including our colleagues.
We have our part to play in keeping society functioning during this moment. Apart from direct and supportive roles in the clinical effort, this means ensuring the teaching, assessment and progression of our students - who are experiencing so much uncertainty about their futures. Despite our own uncertainties, we have had to hit the ground running.
We are getting to grips with technology, teaching in new and unfamiliar ways, managing student relationships and wellbeing remotely, and changing assessments - all the while working from home, home schooling and/or looking after vulnerable relatives and friends. Under these circumstances, sharing effective practice, staying connected and looking after our own health and wellbeing will mean we can continue to best serve our students.
Having supported staff with these aspects of teaching practice for some time, we are in a good position to help you adapt to and develop new ways of working. In the Faculty we already have a bank of online resources you can dip into https://elearning.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/staff/ Beyond this, we want to know what your teaching priorities are right now, so we can offer relevant support. We have therefore scheduled an open Zoom meeting between 10:30am-11:30am on Thursday 30th July https://zoom.us/j/92274552081
You can meet the team and other colleagues to discuss what support you need and share what is working for you already.
Please come along and let any colleagues who would be interested know they are welcome. To help us make that time as useful as possible to you, you can email questions and areas of priority to the Academy inbox educationacademy@manchester.ac.uk which will be reviewed before the meeting. Otherwise we hope to see as many of you as can make it then.
