What will it be on? It is your choice. It does need to be on an aspect of your subject specialism.

What will you need? A completed University lesson planner We will provide you with the University lesson planner on the module. You will also be able to access an interactive planner. We will deliver materials on lesson planning and signpost other materials to you.

Accompanying resources We will talk about resources on the module. You might create or adapt resources. It is likely that you will be in groups of about 20 so you might want to think about how to share/use/distribute resources.

We don’t have these any more!

How will it be assessed? Your Constructing Self and Identity tutor will give you feedback. Your peers will also give you feedback. You will be asked to evaluate your microteaching. It will inform the report and the assessment criteria will be in the module guide.
