Synopsis

This course enables tertiary educators to explore teaching and learning in tertiary environments. In doing so, they will focus on their own context and anticipated teaching roles. Through the process of critical self-analysis with reference to the qualities of effective tertiary educators, participants will produce a 'teaching capacity enhancement plan' (TCEP). This plan should be developed in collaboration with professional colleagues who are prepared to work alongside you as members of a focused professional learning community. A key outcome of this course will be the 'teaching capacity enhancement plan'. This plan will allow you to incorporate relevant professional development and staff development activities, including work-based projects. The TCEP developed in this course will be evaluated in the final course (FET5302) of the Graduate Certificate in Tertiary Teaching and Learning. NOTE: Learners undertaking this course are required to have access to teaching and learning environments in a tertiary education setting.
