There is a new initiative at UBC to train graduate students to teach as instructors in science undergraduate classes. This Centre for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) at UBC offers students a certification as a CIRTL Associate, Practitioner, or Scholar which can boost your CV.

To become a CIRTL Associate, you can participate in our Foundations of Pedagogy course. The course is non-credit and free of charge. At the end of the one-term course, you will be able to use concepts in evidence-based teaching to effectively teach a lesson in a STEM undergraduate classroom, with emphasis on alignment of learning objectives, activities, and assessment.

Schedule:

Tuesdays, 2 pm – 4 pm, January 09, 2018 – March 06, 2018 (no course during reading week).

Koerner Library, RM216
