Learning & Teaching - Letterkenny

This course is designed to support the development of learning and teaching within third level, further education, post-primary and primary sectors. A key aspect of the course is the relationship between effective teaching and reflective practice; the imperative to reflect not only on what we should teach, but how effectively we teach. This course will enable students to critically analyse their own teaching practice, and offer a variety of pathways to complete a full Masters in learning and teaching.
