Evaluating your own teaching

This training helps you assess your teaching skills and those of your colleagues to enhance teaching quality. You’ll explore various evaluation methods, practice lesson observation, and create a lesson observation plan to collect feedback for your UTQ/BKO portfolio. You’ll also learn peer consultation techniques to reflect on teaching situations.

Note: In Evaluating your own teaching (Year 1), you’ll learn to collect feedback, and in Year 2’s training Teaching Video Reflection*, you’ll apply these skills to evaluate teaching videos, which can be included in your UTQ portfolio.

*In previous years this training was named Evaluating your own teaching 2.
