Collegial intervision is a method whereby you develop your teaching and/or intervision practice. You define your own work areas and the focus points where you wish to be observed and work with in the intervision.

The method is based on a view of learning where practice is seen as action filled with knowledge, concepts, values and personal experience, i.e. as competent actions. The competence that makes up an integral part of actions, contains the individual's practical specialist theory and this can become the basis for new knowledge and new practices through action-reflection. In other words, you can become a better teacher in exactly the places where you find teaching challenging.

Podcast: Short clips from three teachers' intervision conversation, which take place on the basis of observation of the assistant professor's teaching. The issue here is time: to achieve everything you have planned (in English).

Target group

Everyone who teaches and supervises at RUC. You can participate both if you are an inexperienced teacher who would like to learn something new, or if you are an "old hand" who knows exactly how to teach - you can also benefit greatly by attending.

Benefits of participation                                                                 

You can participate here if you would like someone to take a fresh look at your teaching and/or supervision and to see the teaching and/or supervision of others.

• You will become a better teacher/supervisor
• You will learn how to increase how much the students benefit from your teaching/supervision.
• You will become more targeted and focused in your teaching/supervision.
