Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) (IN-PERSON) – December 9, 10, 11, 2026

This 3-day intensive workshop encourages examination of one’s teaching practices with feedback focused on the learning process rather than on the specific lesson content. The ISW engenders participatory learning and community building that can transfer back into the classroom. Participants work collaboratively in a small group setting of 4-5 participants to further develop their teaching effectiveness as they design and lead three 10-minute lessons. Following each, participants receive reflective verbal, written, and video feedback from the other participants who have been learners.

This certificate is open to all faculty members (research stream, teaching stream, contract).

This certificate is also available for graduate students with at least 3 years of teaching experience. Alternatively, graduate students are invited to complete the Teaching Assistant Certificate in Teaching (TACT).

This is a three-day workshop series scheduled for Wednesday December 9, Thursday December 10, and Friday December 11. Each day will run from 9 am to 4:30 pm in DB 1014.

** Please kindly note: this is a 3-day workshop series intended for participants to attend the entire workshop (all three days from 9am-4:30pm) in-person.
