Creative curriculums explored at Imperial’s Education Day

International insights, innovative teaching and the student perspective were all on the agenda at this year's Education Day on 22 April. Over 150 staff were joined by Imperial College Union representation, head teachers and speakers from both the College and as far away as Singapore. Professor Debra Humphris , Pro Rector (Education) and Professor Andrew George , Director of the Graduate School and the School of Professional Development welcomed guests to the annual event, now in its sixth year. Speakers provided examples of creative curriculum designs, including keynote speaker, Associate Professor Daniel Tan from the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), who shared his experiences of learning and teaching internationally. Professor Debra Humphris, Pro Rector (Education) said: "Education, along with research is the core business of Imperial and our annual Education Day, provides a focal point in the academic year. The event offers a chance for staff from across the College to come together to share good practice and discuss ideas, as well as to hear the contributions of specially invited speakers." "I would strongly recommend that staff carve out some time to attend the next Education day. It gave me the perfect opportunity to set aside some time to think about my teaching and how best to improve it." "With the landscape of education in the UK undergoing a period of rapid change and development, Education Day offers a chance to pause, evaluate and consider the next steps for Imperial.
