Event Overview

New and experienced instructors are encouraged to attend the SCTE Teaching Skills Workshop where the enhancement of practical teaching and feedback skills are the focus.

Engage Students Deliver Effective Lectures Provide Reflective Feedback

Each participating instructor will be directly engaged in a customized teaching delivery exercise, in a small-group setting of up to four people, designed to enhance the instructor’s teaching skills through an intensive experiential learning approach.

What to Expect

Each instructor will have 15 minutes to deliver a mini lesson to the small group on any topic of the instructor’s choice. Participating instructors then receive 25 minutes of oral, written, and video feedback from other workshop attendees on each mini-lesson delivered.

Teaching related questions such as learner motivation, facilitating group interactions, enhancing classroom dynamics and addressing challenging learning styles are discussed in detail. The workshop encourages reflection and examination of one’s own teaching practices, where feedback is focused on the learning process rather than lesson content.

Workshops are co-facilitated by Peter Macdonald, SCTE Director, and Lisa Endersby, Educational Developer, Teaching Commons at York.

James Gordon

MKTG Instructor, Teaching Skills Workshop Participant

I found this session very useful and am pleased to have had the opportunity for professional educators to provide me with extensive feedback on my lecture – both from a content and delivery perspective. ... This session showed me what elements of my lectures were working well and highlighted opportunities to optimize what my audience takes away from the classroom. Based on what I learned, I am planning to tweak key elements of my lectures and maximize what my students take away with them.

ACTG Instructor, Teaching Skills Workshop Participant

This is a must-do workshop for all instructors. The session was interactive, and the feedback was invaluable. I loved watching the other presentation styles and was critiqued on my presentation (positively and constructively) afterwards. I would love to repeat this exercise in the future to see how I progress from the feedback received.
