Sample 1-Week Timetable

Please note that this timetable is a framework for the course, and that on receiving the participants’ pre-course questionnaires we may make slight adjustments to the focus of the sessions. This will be done for the sole purpose of ensuring the relevance of its contents to the objectives of the participants and their applying organisations. A final draft will be emailed prior to the course start date, with justifications for any proposed changes.

Rationale

As teachers, we are often looking beyond the four walls of our classroom for inspiration, whether that comes from sources such as colleagues, online forums or conferences. These can all provide us with excellent ideas for our own development, but ultimately, we are the best placed people to understand our own students’ needs, and the practicalities and impracticalities within our varied teaching contexts. With great insight comes great responsibility.

It is therefore essential that we become reflective teachers, who can evaluate what is successful in our own teaching practice, and consider any changes that might be necessary or appropriate for the environment in which we work. This hands-on course will give you the opportunity to learn from and share ideas with your peers, as well as collaboratively exploring a variety of ways in which we can all enhance our teaching.

Reflecting effectively and fine-tuning our teaching requires that we constantly challenge ourselves to experiment with new approaches, methods, techniques and procedures. One size does not fit all, and therefore by taking an intelligent and eclectic approach we are destined to cultivate a large toolkit of skills enabling us to attend to all groups and individuals.

This course includes micro-teaching and a personalised CPD session so that development of key skills can be cultivated based on your individual needs, and within a meaningful and authentic context.
