Practice Teaching and Giving Feedback

Goals of this teaching practice:

  • In groups of 4-5 persons we will practice teaching a 5-minute segment of a lesson of your choice.

  • The section you pick should require screen sharing and be of some demonstration or follow-along task (preferably using a shell) to also practice having a good screen-sharing setup.

  • After each presentation, other group members give feedback with the same 2x2 rubric as used in Good Interactive Teaching Practices.

  • We will practice improving our 5-minute segment by taking the feedback into account.

  • In both sessions you can teach the same topic/segment but if you prefer you can also change the topic/aspect for the second session.

Live coding exercise (50 min)

  • We organize the breakout rooms to not only discuss one lesson/topic so that it is more interesting to listen and also probably we will all get more useful feedback.

  • Give each other constructive verbal feedback on the teaching demos using this demo rubric.

  • Write down questions (in the collaborative document) that you would like to discuss in the main room or interesting conclusions which you would like to share with others.

Discussion

Main room discussion (10 min)

  • We discuss questions and conclusions which came up during the group work session.
