    What are Teaching Talks?

    Join us for an hour of your day to connect with your colleagues. These sessions serve as a springboard for discussions around a topic related to teaching and learning but really give you the chance to share the success and challenges you are facing in our new teaching reality. Each session has a topical theme but are shaped by the participants’ discussion, needs, and interests.

    The thematic focus for this particular session is developing the skill of listening in yourself and your students.

    This teaching talk will begin by sharing when and why you seek to use active listening skills or nurture them in your students. We will then try some active listening simulation exercises. We will also discuss listening assignments and the assessment of active listening.
