Teacher Self Assessment Quiz

Ideally each course should include learning outcomes which require students to demonstrate:
Knowledge: Concepts, principles and terminology.
Skills: The skills which they will use at work.
Values: The values which underlie their vocation or profession.
People: How they should manage themselves and how they should collaborate with others.
Learning: The skills of an independent learner.
Integration: How this course fits into their overall learning ie. a foundation or capstone course.

Ideally, the class finds the technology and communication modes that suits them best, and are reliable. This may mean using Moodle or finding a completely new platform or application and learning it together.

An effective teacher fosters student engagement by incorporating interactive activities and discussions. This approach encourages active participation, critical thinking, and collaboration, making learning more dynamic and meaningful. Solely relying on lectures or limiting participation can hinder student engagement and reduce the effectiveness of the learning experience.

A good evaluative process ensures you gather data from a range of source. You should seek feedback about the course design (learning outcomes), the assessment, the facilitation of learning, your teaching and how the course fits into the overall programme of study.

Ideally, student learning is 24/7 so that each course provides support for students to learn anywhere anytime using current technologies.

Each time teachers facilitate a session of learning there should be a lesson plan. Plans should be available to all the teaching team.

Ideally, students come to class to practice their knowledge and skills. They participate in activities that ensure an active learning environment and the development of higher order thinking skills. Students can receive feedback from teachers, teaching assistants, peers or through self assessment.

Embedded assessment occurs during class time. Student practice and receive feedback on the knowledge, skills and values that are found in the course learning outcomes.

The most constructive approach to improving teaching practices is to identify specific areas where growth is needed and develop a plan to address these areas. This involves self-reflection, being open to feedback, and proactively seeking ways to enhance your teaching methods, ultimately leading to better outcomes for your students. Ignoring feedback or externalizing blame does not lead to meaningful improvement.

Ideally, your assessments will include a substantive assessment and several smaller assessments which provide students with the opportunity to practice their skills, and receive feedback before commencing the substantive assessment.
