NyTi programme Teaching-related mentoring for and with newly appointed academic staff Mentoring for and with new staff (NyTi) NyTi is a peer-to-peer mentoring programme. Participation is mandatory during your first year of teaching at the UiS. Participation in the programme will contribute to qualifying you as a teacher and can form part of your educational portfolio. The programme forms part of the university’s commitment to teaching quality. It also forms part of the university’s introduction programme for newly appointed staff in academic posts, and is entrenched in key strategic plans.

Formål og målgruppe Purpose NyTi will provide teaching-related peer-based support to ensure that new colleagues get off to a good start as university teachers, and that their students receive the best possible teaching as soon as possible. Teaching-related peer-based support In this context, the teaching-related peer-based support will concentrate on various aspects of teaching in a broad sense – how it is planned, implemented, justified and assessed, and how these various aspects are expressed in subject syllabuses and curricula. The relationship between teaching and culture will also be addressed. Target group New staff in permanent and temporary teaching and research posts, as well as postdoctoral fellows and PhD candidates whose work includes teaching. Participation in the NyTi programme is mandatory for new staff unable to document extensive teaching experience in higher education and appointed for a minimum of one academic year in a 50%-position. On the recommendation of a department head, a new employee who has expensive teaching experience and who is employed for a shorter period and/or has less than 50 per cent of a full-time job may also participate in NyTi.

Content, work methods and organisation Content The substantive part of the teaching-related mentoring and internal teaching will concern questions about planning, implementing and assessing the teaching, mentoring, and interaction with students, within the context and official documents which the individual must relate to. The mentoring thinking is based on the idea of “educational meetings”, and various approaches will be adopted in line with the new employee’s needs. Two-part structure 1. Peer pairing Peer pairings will be established between a newly appointed teacher and an experienced colleague from the UiS with a view to mutual learning. Mentoring will be provided on the new appointee’s terms, and take place in one-on-one meetings between them and the experienced colleague. Three mandatory peer-to-peer meetings will take place each semester between the new appointee and their mentor. One of these will involve observation of a teaching session as the basis for subsequent discussion.

2. Internal teaching Four internal teaching sessions are offered, two in the autumn and two in the spring. This programme is intended for all new appointees and will be implemented as a combination of lectures and discussions on common teaching-related issues. Participants must document taking part in at least two of these sessions. Contracts and compensation Participation in NyTi is based on a contract between the department head, the new staff member and the mentor. Both the new appointee and the mentor will receive 50 hours in their work plan to participate. Mentors will be colleagues in academic posts with long experience of teaching and mentoring at the UiS, all of whom have participated in a dedicated qualification programme at the university.
