TotT History and Evolution

The Training of the Trainers (TotT@UOC)  initiative first started as a pilot bottom-up staff initiative of the University of Crete in 2019 by the Vice Rector Prof. Karakasis and a three-member founding committee.
 
The initial goal was the development of a culture of exchanging good teaching practices between teaching staff and Faculty members of the University of Crete. TotT was transformed into the Office of Teaching and Learning Support by the Vice Dean Prof. Kosioris in 2021 (now known as Teaching and learning Centre TotT CTL_TotT).

Within three years, TotT managed to gain the support and recognition from the members of the academic community and in 2022 it is at its fourth year faculty development activity. The Centre was supported by the Ministry of Education through an ESPA project ‘Development of Staff’ of the Ministry of Education (2022). The ESPA programme’s  main objective is to enhance smooth administration of Faculty development activities  in Higher Education Institutions in Greece and dissemination of excellent Higher Education pedagogies.  In the same year, the Centre was also supported by the European Union through the European research project Erasmus+  (COALITION), which is based on a proposal written by the Coordinator of GRADIM/ TOTT, Dr. Katsampoxaki-Hodgetts, and Prof.  Eleni Katsarou, Professor of the Department of Philosophy and Social Studies (This proposal was submitted through the University of Leiden in the Netherlands as a coordinator).
