Attend a Workshop to Improve Your Teaching Skills

Taking Your Passion for Learning to the Next Level: A Workshop for Prospective and Current Osher Institute Faculty
It has been said that the best way to learn is to teach. This workshop is for people who are thinking about joining our Osher faculty or are already leading an Osher course. We will cover: how to develop and plan for your course or lecture, understanding the adult learner, facilitating and managing a group discussion, and effective use of audio/visuals. The model of “peer instructor” will be emphasized, in which Osher faculty share with other lifelong learners their passion for a subject, thereby sparking the interests of others.
