This workshop focuses on Principle 2, knowing relevant practices. Evidence-based practices and ongoing evaluation encourage ākonga to engage actively with subject content and each other, and to challenge the thinking, fixed practices, or misunderstandings of both ākonga and kaiako.

By the end of the workshop, kaiako will be able to:

• identify a range of evidence-based practices that encourage ākonga to engage actively with subject content and each other
• consider tools for ongoing evaluation of teaching impact on ākonga learning

This workshops are designed to support the aims of the Ako Aotearoa project Ako Explored – Six principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education. 

Exploring Ako workshops

These online workshops investigate six key principles for enhancing learner outcomes in tertiary education.

Participants are welcome to attend any combination of workshops. Attending the overview workshop first will assist in choosing from the focussed sessions that offer a deeper dive into each principle, but is not required.

Kaiako will be strongly encouraged to participate in an ongoing Community of Practice to support implementation of the six principles, and reflect on their impact on successful outcomes for ākonga.
