SLTP
The Supporting Learning and Teaching Pathway (SLTP) has been designed to meet the needs of the significant number of College staff whose job involves supporting learners but who are not part of the full-time academic staff. The pathway is designed to increase participants' knowledge of learning and teaching issues relevant to their roles at Imperial.
SLTP runs from January to June. It comprises face-to-face sessions, online learning activities and attendance at least one additional workshop.
SLTP is one of Imperial College’s Foundations in Teaching pathways and is accredited as part of the Imperial STAR Framework. Participants who complete this programme can apply to become an Associate Fellow (at Advance HE). All work that participants undertake on SLTP is designed to contribute to their application.
