Teaching for Learning and Collaboration
This program 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.
Program Dissemination
The TLC Modules have been offered as part of the Centre for Faculty Development’s workshop series since 2006. It is also currently part of the curriculum for the Education Scholars Program under the Teaching Excellence stream.
Demand for the program has resulted in the creation of a train-the-trainer session. Since then, several Toronto area teaching hospitals have incorporated TLC into their professional development programs for interprofessional staff and learners.
