As a teacher, you never stop learning. We believe that one of the best ways to enhance your teaching is through connecting with other teachers. This is why we have created TUnder!
What is TUnder?
TUnder is TU Delft’s initiative for facilitating teacher-to-teacher growth.
TUnder led to discussions on education I would never have had with my direct colleagues!

Why is this important?
Teaching is hugely rewarding, but also can be challenging. These challenges can take many forms, from how to engage large groups, to how to design for active learning, and many, many more. Unfortunately, all too often teachers, both new and experienced, struggle with these challenges alone or perhaps are not aware of an area that could be improved upon. We believe that through making connections and learning together, you will be able to take your teaching to the next level in a relaxed and supportive environment.
It’s an eye-opener to see similar tools applied in a totally different educational context. We have a lot to learn from each other.

How TUnder works:
You register your interest in joining the initiative and provide us with more information on what type of class you are teaching, what type of class you wish to observe, and specific interests you wish to learn more about or develop in.
You are ‘matched’ with a peer and a first meeting is scheduled.
You complete Questionnaire 1, which results with you describing what you would like to focus on. You will then hold your first meeting for both you and your pair to discuss your answers and focus area.
You visit each other’s teaching activity and provide short feedback.
You complete Questionnaire 2, which asks you to reflect on your own teaching and this specific experience, and specify areas you wish to improve on going forward.
You meet again with your match to share your answers to Questionnaire 2 and see if the professional spark between you could continue in further conversations, support and learning from each other.
The experience inspired me to develop a new course.
