Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop WAITLIST for Feb 1, 2 & 8, 2020 OPENS DEC 16!

Standard

The waitlist for the Graduate Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) for February 1, 2 & 8, 2020 opens on December 16, 2019.

The ISW is a three-day, fully participatory, and peer-based professional development workshop for graduate students that is beneficial to both new and experienced instructors. The ISW is an internationally recognized program and participants who successfully complete the workshop will receive a certificate of completion and a transcript notation. Participants will have the opportunity to teach three mini-lessons to a group of students, receive critical feedback on their teaching, provide feedback to their peers, and reflect on their teaching practices. For more information, visit the ISW Network official site.

IMPORTANT: The workshop runs from 8:15am-5:00pm. Please note you must attend all three days for the complete duration of the workshop, i.e. the entire 24-hour workshop.

To register for the February 1, 2 & 8, 2020 please sign up here: https://events.ctlt.ubc.ca/events/graduate-instructional-skills-workshop-february-1-2-8-2020/

Waitlist registration will close on Wednesday January 29 at 4:30 pm. By clicking this link, you are signing up for the WAITLIST only,  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 register for an ISW will first be enrolled on a waitlist, from which participants are randomly selected. If a participant has registered 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. For more information and a list of all upcoming sessions visit: http://ctlt.ubc.ca/gradisw
