Learning Centred Teaching

• Question: What is good teaching and how will you know when you are teaching well??
• Record answers on Flip Chart and keep for DAY3.
• We often talk about “good teaching” – diverse opinions, much depends on ambiguous adjective.
• Here we’re focused on something slightly more specific: learning-centred teaching
  • Learning-centred teaching as a subset of “good teaching”.
  • In this case, “good” would be taken to mean “effective in facilitating student learning”.
  • Even more specific: student learning of the intended learning outcomes.
• Should drive decisions, behaviours, throughout the teaching process: outcomes, lessons, assessment tasks, course design, curricula, support structures and services.
• But let’s go back to your stories: What, in those experiences, facilitated your learning?
