Faculty Teaching Lunches

A great way to meet colleagues from other departments and gain practical teaching tips is to attend one or more sessions in our Teaching Lunch series. CTL provides lunch for these informal gatherings, and the topics are set by the faculty participants themselves. For more information:

Analyzing the Teaching Process: Enabling the Cognitive Teacher

(Led by Kelley Skeff, George DeForest Barnett Professor in Medicine)

Friday, April 13 (new date), 2012  Noon-1:15, Y2E2, Room 101

The process of teaching is complex and challenging. Faculty need to make organized and systematic decisions regarding the instructional work that they do with students. Thus, they can be benefited by an organizational scheme to enable them to analyze and make decisions about their own teaching. 

       Since 1985, the Stanford Faculty Development Center for Medical Teachers has been using an educational framework for assisting teachers to analyze and improve their teaching effectiveness. In this session, Dr. Kelley Skeff, co-director of the Stanford Faculty Development Center for Medical Teachers, will share prior work on this framework as well as describe the dissemination program being used for faculty around the world.   This session will provide the opportunity both to be briefly exposed to the framework and provide your own insight into its potential utility for faculty outside the field of medicine.
