Education
Teaching is a cognitive skill just like any other, so how can we increase the space in our working memory, our factual subject knowledge, and our procedural knowledge? Well, listeners to this podcast have heard me say many times, it is virtually impossible to become proficient at a mental task without extended practice. Therefore, our best bet for improving our teaching is to practice teaching! In this episode, Chef Roche discusses a few strategies that he recommends, including peer observations using video, as well a keeping a teaching diary and / or starting a discussion group with fellow teachers.Hosted by Dr. Professor Chef Colin Roche, this podcast is available for free in any app that supports podcasts (Sticher, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc.) or through this link: www.chefeducator.comTo get more information on this topic, as well as many others, including charts, templates and examples, be sure to check out the book titled "Culinary Educators' Teaching Tools and Tips" which is published by Kendall Hunt (https://he.kendallhunt.com/product/culinary-educators-teaching-tools-and-tips)If you would like a copy of the "Videotaping Your Teaching Checklist" that was mentioned in this podcast episode, click this link - https://chefroche.com/chefeducator.SPONSORSHIP/ SUPPORT:If you like the show, or this episode, why not show your support by buying us a cup or two of coffee to help defray some of the out-of-pocket expenses?
