TEACHING FOR LEARNING AND COLLABORATION PROGRAM
The Teaching for Learning and Collaboration program (TLC) is a 7 module longitudinal teaching skills program for multi-professional clinicians in healthcare. The program is relevant to the varied teaching contexts of multi-professional faculty and allows participants to share their teaching experiences and employ common teaching theory and behaviours together.
Content and Format
The 7 modules can be delivered longitudinally as a series or as single sessions:
- Setting the Educational Climate
- Identifying Learning Needs and Setting Objectives
- Making Learning Stick
- Managing the Teaching Session
- Checking In
- Feedback
- The Learner in Difficulty
Each module includes pre-readings, interactive delivery of theoretical content, deconstruction of re-enacted authentic teaching scenarios, role-plays, group discussion, feedback, teaching tip cards and a commitment to change exercise.
Development of the program was informed by social constructivism, andragogy and reflective practice.
