Teaching needs perspective

Sometime in 2007 I was invited to facilitate a session with a group of about 35 high-quality faculty members in one of the Institutes of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE). The topic was “Evolving a Framework for Faculty Development”. The discussion began with “what is your concept of education” and soon I found that people had extremely diverse views on what constitutes “good-quality education”. It was important to create a shared understanding on this before we discussed how we wanted to develop ourselves to contribute to good-quality education.
