Workgroup Teacher Programme (WTP)

The programme develops four core competencies:

• Teaching
• Testing and assessing students
• Supervising students
• Evaluating one’s own teaching

These competencies are introduced at a basic level in WTP and further refined in the UTQ. Participants build a digital portfolio throughout the programme to document their progress.

UvA teachers are welcome to participate in the trainings. Specifically, the WTP includes mandatory training for Teacher 4 positions, with Year 1 focusing on fundamentals and Year 2 assuming some teaching experience. Other teachers are also welcome to join. Each training consists of a 3-hour session with required preparation and time allocated for portfolio work. Departments such as Anthropology, Sociology, SGPL, Political Science, and ISW offer additional peer consultation sessions facilitated by TLC-FMG.

Registration

To register for a training or peer consultation, click on the specific training or peer consultation to access its information page and register. Choose a session that fits your schedule. After clicking “enroll,” select a session for the training and confirm your enrollment. Your status will display as “enrolled” once successful; if it shows “waiting for event,” you still need to select a session.

If you need to unenroll, do so as soon as possible by clicking the “unenroll” button where you registered. Unenrolling at least a week in advance frees up your spot for a colleague. If it’s within a week, inform the trainer.
