Teaching Methods and Support Materials
General Advice:
To be read after ‘Welcome’
Goldsmiths Inclusive
Teaching and Learning
General Advice
• This presentation contains general advice that is
relevant to all methods of face-to-face teaching.
• It is intended to be read before the presentations
in this series on lectures, tutorials/seminars,
practice-based teaching, and assessment and
feedback.
Support Materials
• Support materials for face-to-face teaching include
notes, handouts, PowerPoint slides, readings etc.
• Some materials aid student preparation for teaching
sessions (e.g., Powerpoint slides). These should be
made available well in advance (i.e., at least two or
three days before) and in an easily accessible manner
such as via learn.gold (Goldsmiths’ Virtual Learning
Environment, VLE).
• Allow students to record sessions or better still provide
your own audio recordings or screencasts. Don't forget
to ask the students' permission to record live sessions
in which their contributions may be captured.
Support Materials: Whiteboards
• If not already presented on slides or handouts,
write key information on whiteboards.
• Use dry-wipe pens with dark ink such as black
or blue; avoid green.
• Allow students to photograph whiteboards.
See how the
black ink is
clearer than the
green?
Communication: Speaking clearly
• Face the audience, not
down at your notes or
back at the PowerPoint
projection. Being able to
see your face aids all
students, and
particularly lip readers.
• Speak clearly, at a reasonable pace and volume.
Communication: Accessible language
• If students do not understand a point, elaborate
and reword rather than just repeating yourself.
• Use accessible language:
• Define technical terms.
• Provide a glossary.
• Avoid or explain idioms and acronyms.
Communication: Questions
• Encourage questions and comments online (i.e.,
posted on learn.gold forums) and in class.
• Pause part way through and at the end of
teaching sessions to ask if there are any
questions.
Communication: Questions
• Pose open as opposed to closed
questions. Closed questions can be
answered with one or two words or a
short phrase. Open questions elicit
longer and more thoughtful answers.
• For example, "How would you define
'inclusion'?" is better than, "Do you
understand what 'inclusion' means?"
• Pose questions to student.
• Allow students time to come up with an answer. Count
to at least 10 before further prompting or offering an
answer.
Learning environment
• Minimising background noise can be of benefit
to all students, but particularly those with
hearing impairment or dyslexia.
• Ask people talking loudly outside a teaching space to
be quiet or move to a social area.
• If possible, ask people using noisy equipment such as
power tools to stop until your teaching session is
completed.
• In noisy group work, if possible, arrange quieter areas.
Attendance and Punctuality
• Start timetabled sessions five minutes past the
hour and finish five minutes before the hour.
• This is important for students who need extra time to get
between consecutively timetabled sessions in separate
locations.
Attendance and Punctuality
• Emphasise to students the importance
of attendance and punctuality, but as
far as possible be understanding and
flexible in this regard.
• There are many valid reasons why students
may find it difficult to attend or arrive on
time or need to take short breaks during
sessions or to leave early.
• Ask students who arrive on time to sit
toward the middle of seating rows to allow
others easy access and exit.
• If students complain about the comings and
goings of others, discuss the considerations
of inclusion with the whole group.
