Microteaching

Siham Babana
ENS
• Microteaching sessions are practice teaching
sessions where instructors present short
lessons to a small group of peers with
opportunities to practice different teaching
methods and receive constructive feedback in
a supportive, low-risk environment.
• As a teaching development technique,
microteaching was first introduced at Stanford
University in 1963.
• Each microteaching session has 4-5 participants
and one facilitator and is approximately 3 hours
in length. Participants take turns teaching 15-
minute interactive lessons. Each micro-lesson is
timed so it is essential that you hold on to the 15-
minute timeline. The micro-lesson is followed by
a short (1 minute?) reflection by the trainee on
how the lesson went and 15 minutes of verbal
feedback from peers as well as the facilitator.
• Feedback is an important part of
microteaching. It focuses on what was done
well and suggestions for improvement. Each
participant is expected to give and receive
constructive feedback!
• Goals: What you would like the students to
learn?

• Learning activities: How will you guide


students through the learning process?

• Time management: How you will structure the


class time?
Guidelines

1. Learning objectives
• List 1-2 specific skills that the participants will
gain by the end of your 15-min. lesson. Avoid
vague statements containing the words
“know”, “understand” and “appreciate”.
By the end of my lesson, participants will be able
to:
• Give three examples of
• Pre-assessment
• How will you find out what participants already
know about your topic?

Hint:
• Asking polling questions about the topic. List what
type of questions will you ask and what is the
purpose of your questions? How will you
acknowledge student answers (on the blackboard,
verbally etc.)?
• Opening your lesson
• How will you get the attention of the audience
and pique their interest in your topic?

Hint:
• Are you going to show a video or an image, a
quote, tell a relevant story etc.?
• Learner engagement and participation
• Briefly outline what you plan to teach (bullet points
are okay) and associated learning
activities/interaction for your lesson. These have to
link back to your learning objectives, to make sure
that you are reaching your lesson goals. Don’t include
too much content as we will be assessing your skill at
engaging the audience not your content knowledge.
Use this opportunity to try new classroom activities
to see what works best for you as an educator.
• Post-assessment
• If you plan to assess whether you met your
learning objective(s), how would you do it?

Hint:
• Ask a question based on the material you
taught, ask for an example, do a short quiz,
ask them to summarize the key idea in one
sentence.
• Closure
• How will you end your lesson?

Hint:
• You could provide a summary of learning
outcomes or lesson objectives.
• You could provide a “take-home message”.
• Supporting materials/resources
• What teaching aids do you plan to use?

Hint:
• You can have access to a white/black board,
PowerPoint and projector screen. Please let us
know if you intend to use these in your lesson.
• If you are using handouts, please bring five
copies.
