NIEI Essentials of Teaching and Learning Module (EM)

The National Arts Council (NAC) has partnered with the National Institute of Education International (NIEI) to deliver a 40-hour pedagogical course for arts instructors to enrich their effectiveness as classroom practitioners. Since 2012, more than 580 for artists and arts instructors have taken up this course and provided positive feedback.

 

The course aims to introduce participants to:

• Key ideas of effective teaching and learning

• Processes of effective lesson planning and the development of teaching materials
• Ideas for designing engaging lessons and learning tasks

 

The course covers four broad areas:

1. Basic Principles on the Psychology of Learning
2. Principles of Effective Teaching
3. Lesson planning and components of a lesson plan
4. Assessment and Evaluation

Thank you for your interest in EM 2019.

Registration has closed for the year and more details of future course runs will be available online in 2020.

 

Please note that the Essentials of Teaching and Teaching Module (EM) satisfies the minimum pedagogical requirement for NAC-AEP instructors wishing to conduct NAC-AEP Experience workshop programmes from 2017 onwards. It is NOT compulsory to attend the pedagogy training courses if you are not intending to register to teach for NAC AEP programmes. This course serves as an introduction course to artists who are keen to work in the arts education sector.
