Working method during the module
When you participate in the module TEACH, you work on the UTQ competence Teaching.
During this module we explore and experiment with different approaches and discuss which could work the best in your teaching practice and how this will influence the learning of the students. Collaborative learning is a key element in the UTQ. We encourage you to bring your own best and worst practise. By providing each other feedback and tips during the module we stimulate learning with and from each other.
Next to that, you will work on a design for a real-life lesson with your students. The trainer will sit in on one of your lessons and gives you feedback based on your learning goals on teaching.
