🚨 What is Teacher Expertise? 🚨
We easily recognise expertise in fields like sports or medicine, where success is often measurable. But how do we define expertise in teaching, where the outcomes are more complex and influenced by multiple factors?
This free resource, a taster from the forthcoming How Teaching and Learning Happens e-learning course, highlights the key characteristics of expert teachers and how they develop over time.
This framework is part of a broader programme of teacher professional development we have designed for @AcademicaUoAS
