AUT Essentials+ is designed to help staff meet the challenges of teaching for the first time whilst enhancing their educational practice. The programme contextualises teaching and learning at AUT and explores the ways in which our values and priorities inform curriculum design.

Key Areas Covered

Module 5 Evaluating Your Teaching explores approaches to evaluating teaching, including reflection on practice, collecting feedback from students and the value of peer review. The value in taking a scholarly approach to developing educational practice will also be discussed.
