Some reminders from Thursday 9th July

Today we all experienced quite a dynamic activity...that of helping each other to be more aware of how effective our teaching techniques are and what effect they have on our students and on our general classroom environment.

Exploratory teaching is ...
... the gathering of research information about teaching
...the trying out of ideas, both tried and trusted formulas as well as innovative approaches
...observing the impact this way of teaching has on the audience/Ss
...understanding through investigation and observation why something works or doesn’t
...being the link between the research and the learner
...help our teaching colleagues to become more effective and innovative

How aware did you become today about ways in which your colleagues from other departments can help you and about how you can help them ?

Interdepartmental collaborative projects
• What opportunities are there for you to collaborate with colleagues ?
• How could you benefit others by sharing your knowledge ?
• What could you gain from another colleague ?

Uses everything that you reflect on now to help your team in the micro teaching tomorrow.
