Open Classroom Initiative | Call for Open-up Classrooms for Weeks 10 & 11 (20 Nov–1 Dec)
OCI aims to create a safe and collaborative environment for teaching staff to enhance their practices through peer observation. You have the opportunity to open your physical classroom for a one- or two-hour session or offer a two-week period (Monday of the first week to Friday of the second week) in your iSpace course to showcase a specific aspect of your teaching and learning practice for which you would like to receive feedback from your peers. Additionally, you can choose to observe your colleagues to enhance your own teaching skills.
OCI Period for Semester 1 of 2023 - 24: · Phase I: 6 Nov (Week 8) to 17 Nov (Week 9) · Phase II: 20 Nov (Week 10) to 1 Dec (Week 11)
Call for Open-up Classrooms for Weeks 10 & 11 (20 Nov–1 Dec): We are currently inviting teaching staff to open their classrooms during Weeks 10 & 11 (20 Nov–1 Dec) as part of the OCI. This is an excellent opportunity to share your expertise, gain valuable insights, and contribute to the professional development of our teaching community.
If you are interested in participating, please refer to Attachment 1 for the detailed procedure. You will receive a certificate after successfully hosting an open classroom session and returning the completed Open Classroom Reflection Form. Deadline for MIS registration (https://mis.uic.edu.cn/survey/login.jsp) is 9 November (Thu).
The invitation for observing open classroom sessions will be coming soon. Stay tuned for further details and opportunities to engage with your peers in this valuable initiative.
