Acknowledgements

Special thanks to Dr Kate Exley (BSc; PhD in Genetics University of Liverpool), Consultant in Educational Development, who was the primary author, compiler and editor of this handbook. Kate has undertaken staff development projects in more than forty UK universities, and has been running the in-house training for GTAs at LSE now for a number of years.

Thanks also to the many GTAs who have contributed ideas and experiences to the handbook, especially Tony Whelan, a long-time class teacher at the LSE, with experience of teaching across Mathematics, Statistics and Operational Research, not to mention a background in accountancy, and who now also provides "quantitative study support" to students from across the School through the Teaching and Learning Centre.

Thanks also to other TLC colleagues, in particular Rebecca Trumble who has worked hard to bring the final product to print and the web.

And finally, thanks to the Centre for Teaching and Learning, Stanford University, for the idea of producing a handbook for teachers.  When we started on this project we were in part inspired by the work of Stanford, which we recommend to colleagues as another useful resource: http://ctl.stanford.edu/teach/handbook.pdf
