Thirteen Ways to Begin a Teaching Session |
|||||
According to Copeland & Griggs (Going International: How to Make Friends and Deal Effectively in the Global Market Place, New York 1985, p. 74) it is important in interactive encounters between persons to “(m)ake the opening scene work for you ... The overture should make the music.” The same is true for teaching sessions. A teaching term has thirteen weeks and each week the start may impact on how the session goes. Often teachers will not pay particular attention to the starting mode, sometimes different starting modes are tacit knowledge and will be used intuitively without much reflection. This seminar attempts to create awareness in relation to the impact particular ways of starting a teaching session may (or may not!) have. Thirteen different ‘sample openings’ will be discussed – one per week of each term.
