Teaching Smarter @ UWA

Workshop Description:

Teachers are being stretched in their efforts to maintain high quality teaching, often in a time or resource-poor environment, and with an increasingly diverse student cohort. Ideas on how to establish and maintain a good learning experience for students by teaching smarter are explored. Strategies ranging from those that are very simple for the individual teacher to implement through to structurally more complex, holistic approaches will be discussed.

Intended Outcomes:

You will be able to:

  • Choose from a range of options to make your teaching more effective, enjoyable and engaging (for you)
  • Choose from a range of options to make your teaching more effective, enjoyable and engaging (for your students)
  • Identify ways in which your teaching could benefit from various approaches to content delivery, assessment and feedback
  • Develop a plan for your own teaching or for your school which will make best use of time and resources
