Facilitator:

Dr Jack Tsao
Associate Director of the Common Core

About the Workshop:

Within higher education, the shift away from traditional teacher-centred and lecture-style pedagogy towards a more dialogical and student-centred style of teaching increases the importance of the facilitation skills of teachers. Especially within interdisciplinary courses, facilitation skills lie at the core of helping students develop communication skills, critical thinking, and collaborative capacities: core competencies for future-readiness.

This experiential workshop is designed for both new and experienced Common Core tutors and explores fundamental facilitation skills, including:

• How to effectively craft communication that resonates with students
• Asking better questions and stimulating discussions
• Frameworks for facilitating a more participatory, inclusive, and collaborative classroom

Dates and Venue:

The workshop consists of two sessions scheduled on the following dates:

Dates:                   Thursday 9 Dec 2021 and Tuesday 11 Jan 2022
Time:                     9:00 am – 12 noon
Venue:                 Common Core Lounge (MB150)

Upon attendance of both sessions and completion of an assessment, participants will receive a certificate formally recognizing their commitment to professional development.
