- Emeritus Professor Denise Chalmers AM Senior National Teaching Fellow
This session, presented by Emeritus Professor Denise Chalmers AM, is proudly hosted by the Adelaide Education Academy.
One of the challenges with recognising and rewarding excellence in Learning and Teaching is the challenge of measuring performance. Student and peer reviews can provide evidence of what occurs in the classroom, but not what occurs outside of the classroom.
This presentation will review the strengths/weaknesses of student and peer reviews and explore other evidence of performance in learning and teaching and how to recognise this within a measurement based system of promotion and rewards.
Attend in person to enjoy a valuable networking opportunity with members of the Adelaide Education Academy and other, fellow educators.
Lunch will be provided for those attending in person.
If you are unable to attend in person please select the Zoom option when registering through Eventbrite.
