Peer group consultation for teaching staff
In this virtual group consultation, the participants will reflect on the challenging situations that they typically experience in their teaching contexts involving international students. Together as a group, the aim will be to develop possible solutions.

The event is open and free of charge for all Aalto University teaching staff (including Ph.D. students and postdocs involved with teaching) who teach or supervise diverse student groups including international and local students.
What will you learn?
A successful learner will:
- Have developed strategies to overcome challenges typical of teaching situations involving international students as well as arising between local and international students
- Have gained insight into interculturally varying perspectives
- Have experienced the method of peer consultation as a means to develop and improve teaching in their own department
