A professor from George Brown College in Toronto visited the University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI) to teach professional development skills.
Dr Heidi Marsh, associate vice president for teaching and learning, spent a week with faculty and staff in August as part of UCCI’s Professional Development Week.
The cognitive psychologist and head of George Brown’s Teaching and Learning Exchange delivered practical workshops focused on improving student outcomes and classroom practice.
She covered evidence-based strategies to boost student retention, adult-learning methodologies for higher education and technical, vocational settings, and neuroscience-informed teaching practices with day-to-day classroom applications.
“Dr Marsh’s visit reflects UCCI’s commitment to innovation in teaching and learning,” said UCCI acting president and CEO, Dr Livingston Smith.
“By collaborating with global leaders like George Brown College, we are investing in strategies that directly enhance student outcomes and instructional quality here in the Cayman Islands.”
Professional Development Week also featured a variety of other training and development activities for faculty, staff, and the wider education community.
