How can I free myself from setting the bar too high in my work and in my teaching?

more info close info

Goal of the workshop
The insights of this workshop are applicable in a very broad scope.
You will gain insight into the underlying pattern of what actually makes you feel not as free as you would like to be, and/or why you set the bar too high or experience unwanted stress?

What you can expect during the workshop: 
In a light-hearted way you will practice how to see through your own pattern and gradually free yourself from it. We will make it very concrete by using your own practical case as input during the workshop.

Who should attend?
This session is intended for both junior and senior staff members who:
· Like to take a casual, approachable moment to reflect on how they feel about workload versus work-enthusiasm.
· Like to get insight into which underlying pattern is responsible for not feeling as free as you would like, and/or setting the bar too high.

Anything required?
Think of a concrete working situation in which you desire to feel (a little) more free, more engaged, more enthusiastic, less stressed, setting the bar less high for yourself. We will use these concrete examples from each of the participants to let the (theoretical) insights really come alive.

Regular University Teaching Qualification(UTQ)/ Regulier Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs (BKO)

more info close info

University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) / Basiskwalificatie Onderwijs (BKO)

Summary/Quote
Do you have the ambition to take on teaching roles with more responsibility at FHML (so-called “B” or “C” roles)? Is at least 10% of your appointment dedicated to teaching? Then this training is for you. The training covers three basic teaching competencies: (1) educational development and assessment, (2) educational delivery, and (3) professional conduct.

Why you should attend this workshop
If you successfully complete this training, you receive the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ/BKO), which allows you to apply for B and C teaching roles. The UTQ/BKO is also valid at other Dutch universities.

What you can expect during the workshop
This training provides you with the basic educational principles (e.g., constructive alignment) that enable you to develop your own courses. Activities include a personal intake, interactive sessions in a fixed group of participants, exercises, assignments, discussions, presentations, “microteaching” sessions (in which you practice your teaching delivery), bringing in, and working on, your own teaching cases, self-reflection, application of educational theory, compiling a teaching portfolio, and working on an educational project ([re]design of a course).

Target group
Experienced teachers in general, and future course coordinators and planning group members in particular.

Anything required?
PBL Principles and at least one role-specific training (e.g., small-group teaching or mentoring). See detailed information below.

Bring your own…
Ideas for changing and improving the educational design of any course, workshop, lecture, etc. that you are involved in.

Duration
Five full working days (one per month). The total duration, from the start of the course until the final assessment and acquisition of the UTQ/BKO, is typically between six and ten months.

Location
On campus.

Trainers
Pascal van Gerven, Boukje Compen, Felicitas Biwer, Kirsten Kleijkers-Peetoom. 

Further information about the UTQ/BKO
To improve the quality of university education and professional development of their teaching staff, FHML has recognized the – nationally mandatory – University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) and supports teachers in the (further) development of their teaching competences by offering a UTQ programme. Completion of the UTQ programme is mandatory for all teachers with B and C roles at FHML and is recommended for teachers with A roles, researchers, and PhD candidates.

The UTQ can be attained in various ways, depending on the extent to which the UTQ competencies and underlying skills have already been developed and demonstrated. There are three ways to attain a UTQ, of which the UTQ programme is the most common choice:

1. Regular UTQ/BKO programme

2. Previously Acquired Competencies (PAC) / Eerder Verworven Competenties (EVC) trajectory

3. UTQ exemption

 

1. Regular UTQ programme
Study load UTQ programme, teaching hours compensation, and accreditation
Study load varies per participant and includes attending the five compulsory meetings (40 hours), studying literature, applying newly acquired knowledge in practice, coaching (if needed), reflection, and composing the UTQ portfolio.

The department receives 40 teaching hours to compensate for participation in the UTQ meetings. These hours will be granted once the UTQ certificate has been obtained. For PhDs, the UTQ programme is part of their standard training programme and, therefore, the compensation does not apply.

After full participation in the UTQ programme, medical specialists receive 30 credits for general training according to the ABAN registration. The hospital pharmacists (ZA) receive 20 credits through the ZA registration.

Requirements for Participation in the UTQ Program
To be eligible for the UTQ, staff members and PhDs must meet the following requirements:

  • You have an appointment at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences with at least 0.1 fte of teaching.
  • Your head of department has agreed upon your participation.
  • Registration: Registration for the BKO is possible up to one month before the start date of the first training day.
  • Participation of PhD candidates: PhD candidates can apply for the UTQ program but will only be admitted if space is available. Academic staff whose appointment depends on obtaining the UTQ will always have priority. A PhD candidate will be informed about admission to the UTQ program four weeks before the start of the of the program.
  • Role training: Staff members and PhDs must have completed the PBL Principles training and a role-specific training (such as SGTT, Mentor, CORE, LTC, or specific clinal training) before the start of the UTQ program.
  • Teaching roles: Staff members and PhDs must have fulfilled multiple teaching roles (so-called A-roles). Examples include:
    • Tutor/workplace supervisor/trainer
    • Mentor/coach
    • Examiner of exams, assignments, and thesis


Enrolment
If you meet the basic requirements, you can sign up for the UTQ programme by filling out the registration form. After registration, you will receive an intake form. Based on the information on the intake form, it will be decided whether the amount of educational activities you perform is sufficient to start the UTQ programme. If the intake form is approved, your enrolment will be made final. In case of doubt, you will be invited to discuss the feasibility of the UTQ programme.

Contact
For any inquiries or questions, please contact the UTQ secretariat: doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

 

2. Previously Acquired Competencies (PAC) / Eerder Verworven Competenties (EVC) trajectory

Based on their previously acquired competences (PACs), teachers with ample teaching experience and/or a teaching qualification other than the UTQ (in combination with a teaching appointment that is equivalent to 0.1 fte) may be eligible for the so-called PAC trajectory. In this trajectory, candidates independently compose their teaching portfolio. Ample teaching experience is considered to be at least 5-10 years of significant teaching activities at higher education institutions.

Basic requirements of the PAC/EVC trajectory
Before you can make a request for a PAC trajectory, you must meet the following basic requirements:

  • You have an appointment at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences with at least 0.1 fte of teaching.
  • Your head of department has agreed upon your participation.
  • You have successfully completed the PBL introductory training (Principles of PBL), even if you have studied at Maastricht University.
  • Staff members and Phds must have completed the PBL Principles training and a role-specific training (such as SGTT, mentor, CORE, or LTC) before the start of the BKO program. 

Enrolment
If you meet the basic requirements, you can sign up for the UTQ programme by filling out the register form. After registration, you will receive an intake form for composing a portfolio.

The PAC/EVC trajectory
You can start the PAC trajectory at any time. During the PAC trajectory, you will independently compose a portfolio with thorough reflections on the development of your core teaching competences and underlying skills, based on your experiences in educational practice. Your reflections are supported by evidence and educational literature. The PAC trajectory ends with an assessment of your portfolio during a meeting in which you have the opportunity to explain the content of your portfolio.

The duration of the PAC trajectory depends on the amount of time you want to put in composing your UTQ portfolio. As soon as you decide your portfolio is complete and ready for assessment, you can submit the portfolio via doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

Teaching hours compensation
The department receives no teaching hours to compensate for participation in the PAC/EVC trajectory because it is assumed that you can compose a portfolio with relatively limited effort based on your teaching experiences.

Contact
For any inquiries or questions, please contact doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

 

3. UTQ exemption

As of January 1, 2022, no exemptions for the UTQ are granted anymore. If you have sufficient teaching competencies or a teaching qualification other than the UTQ, you can apply for the PAC/EVC trajectory (see above). Please note that acquiring the UTQ is more beneficial than an exemption because the UTQ is valid at every Dutch university, whereas an exemption is not.

 

*If you have ample experience with small-group teaching or mentoring at Maastricht University but did not complete the corresponding training, you may be eligible for a “recognition of achieved competencies” procedure in these domains. For more information, please send an e-mail to doc-prof-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl
