Talking about Teaching: Curricula for Improving Instructors' Classroom Performance
Strom-Gottfried, Kimberly; Dunlap, Katherine M.
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v24 n3-4 p65-78 Dec 2004
Although teaching is a primary function of social work educators, most instructors receive little training in teaching methods and, once engaged in teaching, have few opportunities to hone their craft and engage in dialogue about their classroom experiences. Teaching Circles are an example of ongoing curricula designed to improve classroom performance, foster support for excellent teaching and, ultimately, improve student satisfaction. This paper describes the rationale, structure, content, incentives, evaluation, and merit of Teaching Circles.
