Core Skill: Teaching
Teaching facilitates significant learning and development on the part of students and instructors. Effective teaching is a reflective practice that incorporates inclusive and evidence-based pedagogical techniques, requires an understanding of the science of learning and course design principles, and assesses student learning.
