Southern Hub Sector Services Manager Jennifer Leahy is pleased to invite you to an online session for Ako Aotearoa Regional Forum participants.

Dr Claire Goode - “The Keys to Teaching Excellence”
from Claire’s thesis; “An excellent adventure: Investigating the stories of Tertiary Teaching Excellence awardees”

What does it mean to be an excellent teacher? What is best practice in tertiary teaching? To help teaching staff who aspire to become excellent teachers, Claire Goode, Learning & Teaching Specialist at Otago Polytechnic, set out to better understand what makes up teaching excellence.

In this presentation, part of the Regional Forum Online series, she will discuss the model − ‘The Keys to Teaching Excellence’ − she developed from her research project, which investigated the stories of twelve national Tertiary Teaching Excellence awardees in New Zealand.

You will gain a deeper understanding of what teaching excellence looks like, and of how teachers perceive their own practice and their impact on others.

The session will include time for Q&A with Claire to discuss how these insights can help develop best practice from staff.
