Summer School: Empowering Educational Developers to Train University Teachers

Summer School: Empowering Educational Developers to Train University Teachers

  • Summer School in Groningen, the Netherlands
  • 24-28 August 2026

Designed as more of a community than a workshop, this summer school aims to bring together those who partner with university teachers in improving their teaching effectiveness. The primary focus of this school will be on:

  1. conversations and learning between educational developers,
  2. designing new, or re-design existing, teacher training programmes in participants’ own institutions
  3. practicing your training methods.

During the week, participants can expect to create a new (re)design of current work they do in university teacher education and facilitate a short ‘mini-lesson’ to the group. Professional trainers of the school will prompt and guide the process but in the end, hope not to be a ‘trainer’ of the group but rather a facilitator of the group’s learning/sharing.
