Synopsis

Tertiary educators will be introduced to the key capacity-building processes of constructive self-evaluation and self-reflection. This course requires students to evaluate the success or otherwise of the 'teaching capacity enhancement plan' developed in course TEA5101. An action learning process will also be used to allow participating tertiary educators to identify and develop key features to be incorporated into an ongoing cycle for improvement. This course seeks to recognise appropriate professional development activities or other relevant activities that can be demonstrated as contributing to the development of teaching capacities in tertiary educators.
