Learner Engagement through Applied Pedagogy (LEAP) workshop series - Run # 20
The LEAP (Learner Engagement through Applied Pedagogy) workshop series is developed to provide participants with a repertoire of teaching strategies for day to day classroom success. Participants will be equipped with pedagogical competencies critical to the teaching function such as lesson planning, instructional delivery, giving feedback and classroom management skills framed within the learning oriented teaching (LOT) philosophy. As there has also been a recent shift to online teaching, this run of LEAP will also cover aspects of teaching effectively online.
