  8. Heads of School / Discipline • Key issues in L&T? • How do new staff find out about these? • PG Cert: only for new probationers? • What should a PG Cert. look like? • How might Subject Centres’ materials / approaches / staff help?

  9. Former PG Cert. participants • PG Cert was a great help • Hindsight • Little call for more discipline-specificity • Stressed benefits of cross-disciplinary exemplars & opportunities

  10. Current PG Cert participants • Discipline > subject? (?) • Dundee: came to realisation that many issues are “generic” • Aberdeen: ditto but quickly, peer observation

  11. Subject centre colleagues • New lecturer materials (SNAS) • Questionnaire

  12. Where next? • MSOR: maths module for PG Cert • Core & options? • Intro. courses / regional events (but ££) • Accreditable materials?
