Signposts: a Professional Development resource for new teaching staff in the tertiary sector

This guide for new tertiary teachers is a series of one-page 'Signposts' explaining key ideas of teaching and learning. It is the result of a project funded by the Ako Aotearoa Northern Hub.

UPDATE - Following a collaborative national evaluation of Signposts, version 2 of Signposts is now available.

In addition, based on information from this evaluation, the project team has developed a Tertiary Teaching Staff Developers' guide to suggested uses of Signposts.
