Continuing professional development
We offer a suite of continuing professional development (CPD) workshops which are open to all Surrey staff and postgraduate researchers.
CPD workshops
The Surrey Institute of Education offer a breadth of CPD workshops throughout the year, including on topics such as Assessment and Feedback, Belonging and inclusion, Observation, Academic leadership, Digital technologies and AI, and many more. You can choose to attend individual sessions or to attend sessions that group around a particular theme.
Surrey Institute of Education professional development events are open to all members of staff and PGRs who are considering or are currently involved with teaching and/or the support of learning at the University, and who would like the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of their role.
For PGCLTHE and AFHEA pathway participants attending CPD is a required element of the programme.
University of Surrey staff and researchers can view the Surrey Institute of Education’s CPD provision and book onto workshops via the EduHub (SharePoint site).
Please visit the site, head to ‘Professional Development’ and from there you can view the current list of workshops and follow our workshop booking instructions.
