Teachers Community TAUU (Teaching Academy Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ) is the community of teachers that meet online as well as face-2-face. Teachers share knowledge, get ideas and inspiration and develop projects together. TAUU is a community that provides space for creativity and innovation. The is looking for 4 teachers for the TAUU Council.

The TAUU council will be the face of TAUU for the teachers. It senses what is going on among teachers, including critical views, and brings this to the attention of people - solicited and unsolicited. Together with the project managers within TAUU, the TAUU council ensures that the community is alive and shares relevant knowledge.

Role and composition of the TAUU council

The role of the TAUU Council is to represent, activate and initiate ideas and activities for the teaching community. The council does this from an independent position and does not eschew to highlight pain points within the teaching community. Whether it concerns work pressure, temporary contracts or other sensitivities, the voice of the teacher must be heard and the TAUU council makes sure it will be heard.
The TAUU council preferably consists of a representation of lecturers from different domains within UU (alpha, beta, gamma, life science). In addition, we strive for diversity in the representation of teachers: junior / senior, permanent / temporary, Dutch / non-Dutch. The working language will be bilingual.
The term of office is three years and, depending on the activities to be planned, it will take you about half a day per month. A fee is available for this.

You are:
• Representative of the teaching community and able to activate it
• Not afraid to bring forward critical points of view
• Enthusiastic about sharing (practical) knowledge about education
• Action-oriented and you like to pick up things yourself: write blogs, identify issues, use your network and answer questions
• Prepared to enter the discussion at board level on behalf of TAUU
 

You have:
• A critical view of education and a willingness to promote innovation and change.
• A good network within UU that goes beyond the usual suspects
