Why teach?

• Evidence of teaching and/or some training for teaching may enhance a CV
• Teaching helps to improve a number of skills that are useful for a scientist's career, among which communication is paramount
• Teaching will allow you to have a role in forming the future experts in your discipline
• Imperial likes everyone who teaches its students to have had some training

Imperial STAR Framework

The Imperial College Supporting Teaching Accreditation and Recognition (STAR) Framework is designed to enable all those who teach and support student learning at Imperial College to:

• recognise and develop their skills;
• receive the appropriate reward and professional recognition for their teaching;
• demonstrate a commitment to their ongoing professional development.

The STAR Framework not only applies to academic staff, but also to the various other clinical teachers, support staff and graduate teaching assistants who are vital in teaching and supporting our students.
