Two days workshop on 22 and 23 January 2016, 10:00am (sharp) - 6:00 pm
Trainer: Carla Cederbaum
The seminar is full, but we have a waiting list.

Everyone has their own ideas about how to teach mathematics. You have probably encountered many different styles of teaching from the student's perspective, and maybe you have also had the opportunity of trying out some from the teacher's side. In this seminar, we will compare different approaches to teaching, find out which ones work (for you) and which ones do not, and discuss pitfalls and commonly made "mistakes". You will get to know some modern instruction methods and techniques relying on evidence based educational theory as we go along. Most of the seminar will be 'hands on' meaning that you will get to teach yourself, get feedback, try again and learn from the experience.
