Teach The Teacher Course

In this module, we shall discuss how best to involve patients in clinical teaching, and how to optimise the experience for the learner, student and patient.

In this module you’re going to walk through planning a small group teaching session using Kolb’s adult learning theory, and do some learning along the way ourselves!

What do these roles involve? How can you fulfil them properly?
Helping others through their career is an important responsibility and not one to be undertaken lightly. By the end of this module, however, you should feel comfortable in knowing which roles you can take on, and know that you can do an amazing job of it!

In this module, we’ll think about how we can prepare helpful resources for students and how we can organise educational events, focusing especially on larger-scale events such as conferences and courses.

A module walking you through a scenario where you’ll learn methods on how to teach small groups with information addressing teaching styles (PBL) and dealing with differing group dynamics.

This module talks you through how lecturing to a large group differs, and how to maximise engagement, use the right presentation skills and things to think about afterwards.

This module will cover:

1) How to plan for small group teaching.
2) Dynamics of different groups according to their size.
3) How to maximise student involvement.
4) How to deal with difficult students.

In this module, we’ll be thinking about teaching in a clinical environment and how the different learning styles of the students you come across will affect how you teach, and how you can help them learn better! We’ll also cover barriers to good teaching in such situations and how we may overcome them.

In this module, we will discuss and elaborate on the various roles clinical teachers fulfil. Ideal for those of you looking to apply for academic teaching fellowships or if you just want to understand in more detail what clinical teachers actually do.

Learn a little more about teaching theory and learning styles in constructivism to create better lesson plans.

This module covers Blooms Taxonomy and how it can be used to guide setting aims when conducting one-on-one teaching sessions with medical students. It also sets out an easy way of assessing students.

This module covers:

1) Brookfield’s principles of learning
2) Handling group dynamics
3) The differences in a teacher’s approach between skills and knowledge teaching

This module covers:

1) The Jarvis’ learning process.
2) The planning pyramid.
3) Using the six-step problem-solving approach.

A module about how we can use Knowle’s theory of adult learning, improve our presentations skills and in using the SCOPME model to give feedback in the context of planning a lesson of our own.

This module covers three essential attributes of delivering an effective teaching session: the Honey and Mumford model of learning styles; the motivational theory of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs; and the Chicago model of how to give feedback.

A module that will talk you through the McCarthy theory of learners, presenting using the Mehrabian Model and another way on how to get feedback on your teaching.

An exciting module combining session preparation (setting SMART learning objectives), teaching (specific techniques to be used at the bedside) and giving feedback (using Pendleton’s rules).

A course focusing on VAK, Honey and Mumford learning models, and the implications different learning styles have for teaching. Also tips on how to engage difficult and underperforming students.
