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
In each module, beginning teachers will view five scenarios, rate the appropriateness of three possible responses, and write a brief rationale for each. They will then discover how experienced teachers rated each response and, most importantly, why.
Feedback reports
At the end of each module, experienced teachers show new teachers their overall alignment and provide resources, readings, and strategies for practice in feedback reports.
Evidencing
Once participants finish the course, they can download a comprehensive report and a certificate of completion.
Track progress
Organisations have the ability to track participant progress, identify individuals in need of additional support, and evaluate the effectiveness of the course by viewing individual and collective data after logging in.
Course resources
Hosting seminars in conjunction with the T-Insight courses is completely optional and depends on your requirements and preferences. However, you can choose to facilitate guided group discussions as 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 provide resources and seminar guides that you can utilise to lead seminars following each T-Insight module, which 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.
