Support for teachers

Within Utrecht University, employees of Educate-it, Educational Development & Training, and TAUU provide various workshops and courses for teachers.

Educate-it
The university-wide program Educate-it offers online modules for teachers in the following areas:
– Blended learning
– (Digital) assessment
– Knowledge clips
Additionally, Educate-it offers workshops on different tools, exploring their possibilities and how they can be used in education. They also offer summer and winter courses annually. In these courses, teachers become familiar with the possibilities of blended learning over two sessions, work on a specific educational design, and learn which useful IT tools can be used in their courses.

Educational Development & Training
Educational Development & Training supports teachers throughout their careers and provides customized solutions for educational challenges. Educational Development & Training always works based on recent educational, subject-specific, and behavioral scientific insights.

Utrecht University places great emphasis on the quality of education, educational innovation and improvement, and professional teachers who perform optimally and continue to develop. Attention is given to topics such as leadership, curriculum development, assessment and feedback, learning trajectories and outcomes, excellence, teaching qualifications, matching and selection. Trainers and advisors from Educational Development & Training have expertise in these areas and support programmes and teachers with educational issues, curriculum and course development, and professional development.
