  9. Ways Forward (1) • More links between the ‘central’ staff and the person in each department who is responsible for overseeing PG teaching • Notes from discussion of PG observation sent to T&L staff

  10. Ways Forward (2) • Mentor training for staff • T&L staff to give support in leading departmental training for PGs • Encourage PGs who later become permanent lecturers to become mentors • Build a data base of lecturers who show strong commitment to T&L (to mentor other PGs )
