      Seminar Presentations

      Learning and Teaching Presentation (2 April 2007)

      It's all about finding your feet

      This seminar is about Dale's teaching philosophy in his first year at CQU, in which he will provide highlights of his successes as well as the failures. Dale will describe how he encouraged, listened to and engaged the students in their own acquisition of knowledge. A strong advocate of sharing the knowledge and life experiences of the students, he drew upon that knowledge and experience to build and facilitate the students' future learning. During 2006 Dale contributed several writings and presentations in his discipline area of Occupational Health and Safety, as well as to the body of knowledge in Teaching and Learning. Dale was awarded both the CQU Vice-Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence - Early Career Teacher of the Year (2006) as well as the Teaching Excellence Award for the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Health (2006).
