This is an experiential and interactive on-line course which invites participants to become aware of how effective their teaching is and to self-direct their CPD. Every participant will have the chance to rethink and enhance their teaching skills in collaboration and interaction with other colleagues. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss, analyse and explore possibility to find ways of taking our teaching to the next level.
It is fundamental that participants meet their colleagues on zoom for 60 minutes every Wednesday at 6pm. (May 5, 12, 19, 26, June 2, 9, 16, 23)
