Micro鈥慣eaching Short Course

听


The Micro-teaching Short Course is designed to give students the opportunity to plan, develop, and deliver a lesson in a mock classroom setting.

Goals of the Micro-teaching Short Course

  1. Develop an understanding of effective teaching and learning strategies.
  2. Gain practical teaching preparation and experience.
  3. Increase confidence in your teaching skills.
  4. Receive and apply critical feedback to enhance your teaching development.
  5. Strengthen your ability to assess and evaluate teaching.

The cycle of micro-teaching typically involves:

  1. Lesson Planning and Preparation:听Attend a training session to learn how to prepare your micro-lesson.
  2. Teach:听Present your 15-minute lesson to your peers.
  3. Receive Feedback:听Get both verbal and written feedback from your peers.
  4. Revise:听Reflect on the feedback and revise your lesson.
  5. Re-teach:听Present your revised lesson to a new group of peers.
  6. Re-evaluate:听Assess the improvements in your teaching.

Micro-teaching enhances both the content and delivery of teaching, such as using questions effectively, explaining concepts with examples, and summarizing lessons clearly

Micro-teaching Short Course Framework

This course emphasizes collaboration, experimentation, and collective learning. It not only helps you develop teaching skills through lesson preparation and delivery but also enhances your abilities by observing and assessing your peers鈥� lessons. Research shows that even a 5-minute lesson can significantly benefit your teaching practice.

While a 15-minute lesson may seem brief, the goal is to practice delivering specific content with clear objectives and outcomes. In regular teaching, you may cover multiple concepts in one lesson, but micro-teaching helps you break down and focus on individual components.
