Education Essentials
Education Essentials is a collection of modules aimed at developing key skills for all interprofessional health science teachers, in various teaching settings. How modules are utilized is flexible–one or more modules to all of them–to meet the various needs of our teachers based on their activities, schedules, and priorities.
As seen in the above figure, this Education Essentials professional development curriculum broadly includes the areas of:
1) Growth as an Educator
2) Inclusive Teaching
3) Teaching & Learning Design
4) Teaching & Learning Strategies
5) Assessment, Evaluation, & Feedback
In addition, four curricular threads are woven throughout each of the nine module, and include the important teaching aspects of: self-reflection, growth mindset, supporting diversity, and learning theory and science.
