Approaches to Teaching and Reasons for Applying to Participate in TAP
This section is an important part of your application. Here you are asked to outline your current thoughts about, and approach to, the practice of teaching your subject and also to explain your reasons for applying to participate in TAP. We do not expect highly developed ‘teaching statements’, but will be looking for evidence that you are interested in developing your understanding of the relationship between teaching and learning in higher education and that you have thought about what you hope to learn through taking TAP. You should aim to write about 500 words in total.
If you are offered a place on TAP, at the end of the year, you will reflect on whether and how your approaches to teaching have changed during the year and review what you consider you have gained through participating in the programme.
i. Approaches to Teaching (approx. 300 words)
You may find it helpful to consider your answers to some of the following questions: What do you think your role as a teacher is, e.g. as a supervisor, how can you help the student to learn? Give examples of how you have approached different teaching situations. What are your goals for the students? What are the students’ expectations of you and how will you meet them? If you are a PhD student, how do you feel about switching roles between student and teacher?
ii. Reasons for applying to TAP (approx.. 200 words)
You may find it helpful to consider your answers to some of the following questions: What do you hope to gain through participating in TAP? What interests you about the programme? What do you hope to learn during the year? How will your students benefit through your participation?
