Description:
Improve your skills in university teacher training. (Re)design your workshop or training. Learn with and from other educational developers.
Designed as more of a community than a workshop, this summer school aims to bring together those who partner with university teachers in improving their teaching effectiveness. The primary focus of this school will be on 1) conversations and learning between educational developers, 2) designing new, or re-design existing, teacher training programmes in participants’ own institutions and 3) practicing your training methods. During the week, participants can expect to create a new (re)design of current work they do in university teacher education and facilitate a short 'mini-lesson' to the group. Professional trainers of the school will prompt and guide the process but in the end, hope not to be a ‘trainer’ of the group but rather a facilitator of the group’s learning/sharing.
