TATAL workshops develop cohorts of reflective practitioners. Participants reflect on and share learning and teaching experiences aligned to the conference themes while developing networks with practitioners from other institutions. TATAL has been running since 2008 and the collaborative and scholarly focus of TATAL has resulted in publications, grants and teaching awards for past participants. (Examples of publications include: Miley, F., Cram, B., Griffin, A., Kennelly, R., McCormack, C., & Read, A. (2012). Using stories in teaching. HERDSA Guide. Higher Education Research development Society of Australasia; and Gilchrist, J., Hancock, E., Islam, J., McCormack, C., & Northcote, M. (2013). Collaborative Mentoring - reflection on the role of TATAL in the aftershock of a HERDSA Fellowship Application. HERDSA News, 35(3), pp. 16-18)
During the workshop participants will begin to develop a teaching philosophy statement and teaching portfolio while sharing their experiences with colleagues. After the conference participants can continue the TATAL experience through facilitated Skype sessions with TATAL colleagues to continue to reflect on their teaching philosophy and portfolio, for individual improvement or beginning the HERDSA Fellowship process.
Melbourne TATAL includes a full day pre-conference workshop and a follow up breakfast meeting.
Participation is free for delegates also attending the main HERDSA conference (except for day registrations), but a pre-registration is compulsory.
