Course modules
Module One: Mutual trust and respect
Create an environment of mutual trust and respect where students feel they belong. Teachers are key role models who can influence the attitudes and values of their students. Students need to be given opportunities to expand their knowledge and understanding of different cultures and identities in a manner appropriate to the subject being taught.
Module Two: Inclusive practices
This module focuses on ways in which teachers can create classrooms where all students, regardless of their backgrounds and identities are given opportunities to collaborate and interact in a collegial way. Expert teachers discuss the importance of avoiding sexism, racism, and homophobic language and how to handle tensions if they arise.
Module Three: Celebrating diversity and challenging stereotypes
This module focuses on creating opportunities so all students can reach their potential. Expert teachers share how they have ensured no student is disadvantaged by teaching practices and curricula.
Scenarios
Each module includes five scenarios where beginning teachers will view the scenario, rate the appropriateness of three possible responses and write a brief rationale for each. Next, they find out how experienced teachers rated each response and most importantly why.
Feedback reports
Feedback reports at the end of each module show new teachers their overall alignment with experienced teachers and include resources, readings and strategies for practice.
Evidencing
Once participants complete the course, they will be able to download a comprehensive report as well as a certificate of completion.
Track progress
Organisations can login to track participant progress, identify individuals in need of additional support and evaluate the effectiveness of the course by viewing individual and collective data.
Course resources
Hosting seminars in conjunction with the T-Insight courses is completely optional and depends on your requirements and preferences. However, guided group discussions can be a great way to encourage your students and/or staff to discuss the classroom scenarios and related educational concepts and issues in more depth. We offer resources and seminar guides that you can use to facilitate seminars following each T-Insight module that are designed to:
a) Stimulate discussion amongst participants
b) Enable participants to share multiple perspectives of teaching & learning
c) Further build participants’ teaching confidence and classroom readiness.
