Individual university didactic coaching for professors

Are you a professor or junior professor at Paderborn University and would like to be coached by experienced university didactics experts in a 1:1 constellation with regard to your teaching activities? Then we would be happy to support you with our individual university didactics coaching.

The way in which lecturers organise their teaching is highly individual. As their experience grows, teachers develop their own routines and strategies for preparing and conducting courses, examinations and counselling students. At times, their own demands and the external framework conditions can be at odds, for example in terms of time resources.

Coaching in higher education didactics offers professors and junior professors at Paderborn University the opportunity to take a systematic look at their own teaching. In individual cases, experienced lecturers can also take advantage of the offer. In cooperation with an external coach, a selection is made from the spectrum of possible university didactic topics and then worked on in a solution-oriented manner.

Are you interested? We would be happy to arrange a non-binding preliminary discussion with you.
