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.
