The ILAT self-guided resource can be used in a number of ways to help academics ease into their new role and can be accessed at any time prior to employment, after the ILAT workshop and during your employment as a teacher.
The aim of the self-guided resource is to enable academic teachers to prepare for their new roles. The ILAT program recognises the range of roles and experience new academics bring to their positions and allows academics to self-select resources and support they need at different times in a teaching period.
