Teaching Skills for Librarians
\nMonday 7th July, Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield.Organized by the Education Librarians Group (CILIP)<\/p>\n
I had the pleasure of attending the above course which was held at the University of Sheffield. Despite a very early train at 6.45am the course was very worthwhile and covered the following points:<\/p>\n
The Nature of Teaching and Learning
\nPlanning your Teaching
\nDelivering your Teaching
\nAssessing your Teaching
\nGetting Feedback from your Teaching.<\/p>\n
The course was extremely useful because it dealt with teaching and learning in the Higher Education sector, it also gave valuable tips on what to do if\/when the teaching goes wrong and gave real examples \u00e2\u20ac\u201c some quite frightening!<\/p>\n
The facilitators Jo Webb (De Montfort University) and Chris Powis (University of Northampton) delivered the session well, it was clear to me that they had run this session many times and were almost acting on \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcauto pilot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 by the end of the day.<\/p>\n
I came away feeling very enthusiastic about teaching information skills sessions, although slightly worried about the level of planning involved. This, according
\nto Jo Webb and Chris Powis, must be done to ensure the session meets the needs of the learners and demonstrates the professionalism of those delivering the teaching itself.<\/p>\n
I for one will certainly make use of the information and tips gained from this course.<\/p>\n
