What Is Excellent Teaching?
What makes teaching "excellent"? In this Sparkshop, we explore how students and educational researchers define and recognize great teaching across disciplines. Participants will engage with research-based characteristics of effective instruction, including pedagogical content knowledge, enthusiasm, inclusivity, and meaningful feedback. We’ll also reflect on how these qualities show up in our own teaching practices and how we might cultivate them further.
