Instructional Skills Workshop – Preferential Access for LFS Teaching Assistants
As you may know, all graduate students at UBC can attend the very popular Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) at the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT). Usually the workshop has a very long waitlist and is difficult to get into. LFS has secured spots for teaching assistants (each valued at $200) which allows you to bypass the waitlist. We have nine spots remaining.
If you are interested in taking this workshop, please email us at colind@mail.ubc.ca with the following information:
- Your name, graduate degree program and courses you are currently or intend to TA/teach.
- A brief description of how the ISW contributes to your teaching development (150 words).
- Your top three choices for the following dates:
January 19, 20, 26, 2019
January 27, February 2, 3, 2019
February 4, 6, 7, 2019
February 9, 16, 17, 2019
March 2, 9, 10, 2019
