Each Microteaching session will involve 5 graduate student participants and 2 TATP facilitators. Participants will take turns acting as instructors by taking their students (i.e., other participants and TATP facilitators) through a 10 (ten) minute lesson over Zoom. Following their lesson and a brief reflection, each instructor will provide a brief, verbal self-assessment, stating what they thought worked well in the presentation and what could be improved. The instructor will then receive verbal comments from each peer in the session and final comments from the TATP facilitator. The instructor will then end their session with a final self-assessment in light of the comments just received. All participants will be given time to fill out a feedback form for each instructor. These will be emailed the TATP facilitators who will then distribute each peer feedback form to the respective instructor. You will have the option to have your presentation recorded and sent to you after the session.
Microteaching is a great option if you are looking to get feedback on online-specific teaching strategies (e.g., EdTech) or if you are primarily teaching in online settings.
