In this one-hour workshop learn how thinking about your own teaching can make you a more effective tutor. This workshop empowers educators to think more deeply about their teaching philosophy and practice, leading to teaching excellence. Engage in reflective exercises, share experiences, and develop strategies that align your beliefs with your everyday teaching approach.

In this workshop, we will put into practice the following ACE Teaching Standards indicators:

2.1 Initiate and take advantage of opportunities to advance personal professional knowledge and skills to benefit learners.

2.2 Analyse learner information to reflect on, evaluate and improve the effectiveness of teaching.

2.3 Examine own beliefs and the impact on practice and the achievement of learners.
