Tertiary teaching in New Zealand/Introductions/Who am I and where am I from?/Summary

Topic 1 - summary
The first topic in Tertiary Teaching in New Zealand is intended to help you get to know your classmates, and to begin the process of thinking about what tertiary education looks like in different contexts. We are not making judgements, but simply looking at different ways of working with adult students. One way may be particularly suited to a culture, a professional topic, or a particular student - the more we know, the better suited our teaching can be to the situation, and the learner.

You have told us about yourself, your home town, and your greatest teacher: now we are going to move into an examination of tertiary education - where it has been, and where it is going! Let's start with "Where are we coming from" in tertiary education - click here for Topic 2.
