Tab 8: Personal Development Session

Objective

  1. To provide specific, individualized feedback to participants based on direct observation of their teaching approach and style.
  2. To improve participants' teaching effectiveness and elevate their student and faculty evaluation scores.
  3. To provide participants a safe forum to discuss instructional and evaluation issues with master teachers and colleagues, including those issues that they may be uncomfortable discussing with colleagues at their institution.
  4. To form sub-groups of participants and master teachers who can serve as advisors to one another after the seminar is over.

Process 
Participants will be divided into cohort sub-groups. The groupings will be determined before the program starts and participants will be informed in which cohort groups they will participate. 

The master teacher will select a member from each group to facilitate the process. Each participant will have approximately 15 minutes to use the time they feel will be most valuable for their individual needs. The time devoted to the presentation will be strictly adhered to. Roughly one half of the time should be allocated to feedback, discussion, and completing the evaluation form. This will occur immediately following the presentation; participants will receive oral feedback from their peers and the master teacher will have the opportunity to ask questions of the group regarding that feedback.**

Participants may use their allotted time to:

  1. Give a lecture, replicating one of their class lectures they find most challenging to present allowing the master teacher and participants in their group to provide full and functional feedback to elevate the presenters teaching skills and effectiveness.
  2. Present a set of their course documents for feedback. Course documents may include syllabi, PowerPoint slides, tests, simulations, or others. The objective being to get practical and productive feedback on their course documents and their lecture skills.
  3. Present a set of course evaluation documents to get specific constructive ideas, suggestions, and tools from the group to address issues raised by the evaluation interment and their lecture skills.
  4. Present a topic he/she would like discussed by the group. This should only apply if the participant is an administrator but will need to inform the group's master teacher beforehand to make this request.

** Each group will have access to the following instructional equipment: LCD projector, laptop, and flip chart or white board. If any other equipment is needed by the participant they will need to bring it to the seminar. The participant will need to bring copies of all course materials or any other items necessary to the delivery. You may contact Baily Broomell, seminar associate, one week before the seminar to get the number of handouts you should bring: baily@aacsb.edu, 813-367-5211.
