School Specific Training

These are face-to-face sessions conducted by the Deans/Heads of Programme from the respective Schools in which you have been deployed to teach. They can be in the form of briefing/ debrief sessions, course-specific trainings or role-specific trainings such as for examination markers and course developers.

The purpose varies with the nature of the session:

1. Welcome and orientate new associates for teaching in SUSS
2. Gather feedback on course content and delivery and students from associates
3. Highlight changes in course content where the course is revamped
4. Brief associates on important aspects of their roles and sharing of recommended practices

These sessions are conducted year-round. Representatives from the respective schools will contact you regarding the nature and details of the school training sessions (varies according to school). Attendance taken during the session, and/or successful passing of the relevant quizzes, will represent completion of this mandatory training.

Note: Graduate programme deployments do not need to undergo School Specific Training.
