Educational dynamics at IMT Mines Albi: the smart mornings
At IMT Mines Albi, the Smart Mornings (Matins Malins) offer an opportunity for all who teach here, whether permanent staff or external consultants, PhD students or researchers, to meet up once a month to share their teaching experiences.
One hour, one subject, one speaker, one debate, followed by a detailed and widely-distributed report - such is the format chosen for highlighting and developing educational initiatives at IMT Mines Albi.
Around a coffee-croissant, teachers debate their teaching experiences and the innovations they are implementing, provide inspiration for each other and igniting enthusiasm, thus ensuring cross-pollination of new ideas.
The objective? Student success: learning, learning to learn, learning what you don’t know, learning to distinguish relevance, learning to mobilise resources.
