A Teaching Community Meeting Agenda

 

Share experiences from recent teaching.

• Raise awareness of any student problems in concept construction/learning
• Hear about the practice of others, and the way they solve problems – process and outcome learning
• Gain reassurance that even the best have failures and it is OK to do so
• Debrief own practice, with peer support and encouragement

Discuss the “big ideas” to be taught in upcoming teaching

• Identify the critical concepts, and possible misconceptions
• Share knowledge and interpretations of the theory and ways of representing it
• Identify alternative pathways to understanding for students, and likely barriers

Collaborate in planning the teaching method

• Build on the exposed knowledge of current student learning and explore teaching ideas that will result in a good learning environment
• Use the combined knowledge and ideas of many experts
• Encourage creativity and risk taking
• Create a balanced learning situation for learning both concept and procedure
