The Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) will be offering a Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) on October 29, November 4 & 5, 2023.

The Grad ISW is a 24-hour, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors.

Please note: You must attend all face-to-face sessions and complete all independent work for the complete duration of the workshop, (i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop).

To apply for the waitlist for October 29, November 4 & 5, 2023 ISW please click here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-october-29-november-4-5-2023-preliminary-application/

 

Application opens on September 15 at 9 am and closes on October 25, 2023 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are applying for the WAITLIST only and this DOES NOT register you for the workshop. Graduate ISWs at UBC are in high demand. To create an equitable registration process all graduate students who apply for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has applied for more than one ISW waitlist, their name will appear more frequently when generating the participant list, giving them a higher chance of being selected for an ISW. If you are accepted into the workshop, you will be contacted by our office to confirm your registration.

ATT: CGSD applicants

Please remind your Tri-Agency Doctoral applicants (ie. CIHR CGS-D, NSERC PGS-D, NSERC CGS-D, SSHRC CGS-D, SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship) that they must submit their application (click “submit” in the application system) before the application deadline (September 12 at 12:00 noon PT).  This step is required in order for their application to be considered.  Please advise your students to submit their application well in advance of the application deadline.  Late application submissions will not be considered and will be ruled ineligible.

How to submit a Tri-Agency Doctoral application:

CIHR

• On the task list page, go to “Consent and Submit” and click on “Submit to Research Institution”.
• The system will not allow the application to be submitted until both references are submitted.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check in with their referees (“sponsors”) in advance of the application deadline if references are missing. Late references will not be accepted.
• Note: ResearchNet will close the application portal (ie. not permit the application to be submitted) once UBC’s application deadline of September 13 at 12:00 noon PT is met.

NSERC

• On ‘Portfolio’ page, click “Verify”.  This step will indicate if there are any incomplete sections in the application.  Then, click “Submit”.
• The system will not allow the application to be submitted until both references (“Reports on the Applicant”) are submitted.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check in with their referees in advance of the application deadline if references are missing.  Late references will not be accepted.
• Note: The NSERC system is not able to close at UBC’s application deadline, but the date and time of submission is recorded (i.e., every application is time-stamped in the application portal).  To be eligible, applicants are required to submit their application in the system before September 12 at 12:00 noon PT.  Applications submitted after this deadline will be ruled ineligible.

SSHRC

• On ‘My Portfolio’ page, click “Verify” for both ‘Curriculum Vitae’ and ‘Form’.  This step will indicate if there are any incomplete sections in the application.  Then, click “Submit”.
• The system will not allow the application to be submitted until both references are submitted.  It is the applicant’s responsibility to check in with their referees in advance of the application deadline if references are missing.  Late references will not be accepted.
• Note: The SSHRC system is not able to close at UBC’s application deadline, but the date and time of submission is recorded (i.e., every application is time-stamped in the application portal).  To be eligible, applicants are required to submit their application in the system before September 12 at 12:00 noon PT.  Applications submitted after this deadline will be ruled ineligible.
