Mastering the Art of Teaching & Training

Location: LUMS Learning Institute- Ground Floor Academic Block (Out-Gate Entrance; Opposite OSA) 

Workshop description 

The "Mastering the Art of Teaching and Training" programme is a 3-day workshop offered in a small group setting at LUMS that is designed to improve the teaching effectiveness of both new and experienced educators. Led by a team of LUMS expert facilitators and renowned LUMS faculty, the programme covers core pedagogical skills such as active learning strategies for student engagement, constructive feedback on lessons, suggestions for improvement, and the use of Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) 

Using an experiential learning approach, educators will be provided with information on the theory and practice of teaching adult learners, developing learning outcomes with accompanying lesson plans, techniques for eliciting learner participation, and suggestions for evaluating learning. This workshop will not only build educators teaching skills and enhance their confidence but will also enable them to learn from and foster partnerships with colleagues from other disciplines. 

The workshop will engage participants in: 

• Generating effective feedback and discussion 

• Planning and delivering "10-minute lessons" 

• Developing participatory instructional techniques 

• Listening actively 

• Learning and teaching collaboratively 

Educators and Teachers in higher education will find this training particularly useful. 

Learning Outcomes: 

• Construct intended learning outcomes (ILOs) 
• Incorporate active learning strategies into lessons 
• Enhance lesson planning and delivery approaches 
• Collect and utilise feedback from learners about lesson delivery 
• Provide valuable and constructive feedback on others' lessons 

Note: Mastering the Art of Teaching and Training has a team of instructors. The Instructors for each training may vary.
