In this interactive workshop Monika Rummler of TU Berlin will share a challenge-based model of teaching and learning of staff with âteaching change agentsâ. The challenge-based model specifically focuses on the daily challenges teachers face in their work. Challenges that cannot be addressed immediately, but need addressing immediately. Challenges for whom no-one is available on the spot, but your peer next door who is also swamped in his/her research activities.
About the workshop
In this workshop you will be introduced to working with teaching change agents. Questions that will be addressed are:
- how to embed a structure for teaching change agents to have them work in an effective way in the department
- what are the advantages of working with change agents and
- which hurdles need to be overcome.
The Teaching Change Agents are supported in developing innovative teaching concepts for the support of teaching staff. They are also trained to be disseminators to support and consult their fellow teachers. In the workshop, the participants discuss the model, implications of this model and its transfer possibilities to a TU Delft environment.
For whom
Directors of education, management and education support staff of 4TU institutes.
