Initiative for Learning Innovation and Teaching Excellence

Why We Exist

Educational institutions are as significant as ever to individual development. Students expect us to equip them with the knowledge and skills that will serve them well in the workplace, and also help them to develop identities and connections that will sustain them throughout their working lives. Supporting truly transformative learning requires advancing our knowledge of human development, putting students’ learning journeys at the centre of course design, developing instructors who can facilitate such learning, rethinking learning environments, and providing spaces for reflection and imagination. iLITE’s mission is to support INSEAD’s capability to provide transformative learning experiences through research, faculty development workshops, instructional coaching, and public engagement. We welcome you to explore these activities on our website and make use of our knowledge and resources.

What We Do

We support the calling and the craft of teaching for INSEAD faculty and beyond and instructors’ ongoing development within a diverse community of learners.

Teaching Development
LME Programme

Teaching Development

Pedagogical excellence and innovation at INSEAD are our goals as we foster a community dedicated to ongoing teacher development.

Instructional Coaching

We offer instructional coaching to all INSEAD professors, across all campuses and all degree programmes. While we give priority to new professors, anyone is welcome to request instructional coaching on an ongoing basis.

Mentorship

New professors, with or without teaching experience, benefit from the support of a teaching mentor within their academic areas. We support the mentor-mentee relationship by helping areas choose the right person to mentor newcomers, and meeting with the pairs to help the mentor best support their mentee's needs and aspirations.

Peer Observations

Facilitating transformational learning at INSEAD means, first and foremost, learning from and with colleagues and students. All new professors are offered a plan to observe and be observed by colleagues. An instructional coach and the mentor have a discussion with the mentee about who they may benefit from observing. Experienced faculty are encouraged to observe one another to keep up with learning innovations and continue to develop their teaching.

LME Programme

Leading Management Education Programme

For new and pre-tenured faculty

At the beginning of the academic year, we organise the Leading Management Education (LME) programme to support new faculty members’ transition to teaching at INSEAD. The programme is specifically designed for faculty to gain a deeper understanding of our culture and students. It provides a unique opportunity to experience different teaching methods employed by some of the most effective INSEAD's most effective professors, to practice and receive feedback on teaching skills, and to collectively discuss and address teaching concerns.
