Last week we had a full day programme on the theme of Challenge-Based Learning. The day was well attended and provided many new insights and interesting discussions. Not yet been there? Discover the rest of the great programme and register!
As a motivation… we received this enthusiastic reaction from one of the participants:
“Teaching can sometimes feel very isolating. It is very likely to get focused on the daily tasks required of our busy schedules and we can't take time to reach out to other teachers for advice and support. Attending the 'Month of Education' is a nice experience in many ways. Being around the people who have the same concerns and the same target of 'a better education' gives the quality time with the colleagues who know exactly what you are going through. This sense of being included and understood becomes more efficient with new teaching methods and tools that are presented. After this event, I feel energized and excited with many new ideas in my mind likely to be applied in the next teaching semester.”
Tuesday 31 May
For this Tuesday we would like to refer to a UT-wide event from the Shaping Expert Group: Recognition & Reward talkshow.
Thursday 2 June
The Student Perspective day is an opportunity to get answers to any burning questions you have about how students experience education. Student representatives from a variety of student organizations will provide you with their insights into the dynamic student experience and will talk about their vision of education in the future, as well as what teaching practices they expect might become old school. The last portion of the day will be devoted to hearing from teaching assistants about their role in future. Check the full programme on the website.
