Through our regularly scheduled “Teaching Improvement Course”, participants are given the opportunity to develop their skills as educators, and gain feedback on their teaching style.
Teaching Improvement Course
This is an interactive two day course focussing on the theory & practice of teaching and learning. It covers:
Day 1: Introduction to learning theories, Learning styles, Setting aims and objectives, Models to structure your teaching sessions, Dealing with difficult learners/challenging situations
Day 2: Questioning techniques, Giving feedback, Microteach
On day two of the course, participants will be expected to deliver a 10 minute “Microteach” session on a non-clinical topic. Participants will therefore have the opportunity to try out the techniques learned on day one of the course, and to receive feedback on their teaching delivery.
