Toolkit for "Good Teaching" Focuses the Curriculum on the Essentials

Guiding Questions:

What knowledge, competencies, skills, etc., should students definitely acquire in my course?
Which teaching and learning approaches will help students achieve the learning outcomes and goals?
What can I do without?

Means to Achieve Goals:

Understand course content as a creative development process that evolves dynamically
Review your own teaching concepts and focus on key points
Take advantage of counseling opportunities and active exchange within the faculty
Maintain curiosity and enthusiasm for innovations regarding the course material and one’s own subject area
Align the development of the course curriculum with the following points:
- Is the content of my course outcome-oriented?
- Do I develop my curriculum as part of a collective consultation process?
- Do I base my approach on a coherent qualifications/competencies profile?
- Is my course design coherent?
- What framework conditions (time, location, etc.) can I influence?
- Am I continuously refining my curriculum?
- How engaging is my course content, and can it be applied in practice?
