I hope you had a restful break. May I enlist your support with promoting CTLT’s TA Institute to graduate students and TAs within your department/faculty?

The CTLT Teaching Assistant (TA) Institute is five days of free professional development workshops for UBC graduate students and undergraduate TAs. The TA Institute from January 11 – 15, 2021 includes a collection of workshops designed to support TAs as their roles change with the move to online teaching and learning. Sessions include, but aren’t limited to: Online Presentation and Lecturing Skills, Designing Impactful Activities for Online Learning, Time Management Skills for Graduate Students and TAs, and Holding Space for Anti-Racism and Solidarity in Teaching Practice.

This year, workshops are organized into 6 themes, and if attendees complete 4 workshops within a theme, and complete the related pre & post-session online modules, they will be eligible for a letter of completion that can be included in a Teaching Portfolio or CV.

View the full schedule of events and learn more at: https://institute.ctlt.ubc.ca/ta-institute/january-2021-ta-institute/

My name Kelly Allen, I live and work in Canada while completing a Masters program with the University of Liverpool, UK. I am in the final Dissertation phase for receiving my Masters of Science in Mental Health Psychology. This qualitative research project is Canadian based and related to Campus Sexual Assault (CSA) Policies and recent Legislation requiring some Universities to implement stand-alone CSA policies. I know everyone is busy. I am trying hard to get the word out and recruit enough participants for this study!

Campus Sexual Assault is pervasive and your participation in this research study will help provide a much-needed perspective on how these CSA policies have impacted Mental Health & Psychological Safety on Canadian Campuses. Your perspective as a STUDENT, a University STAFF representative, or member of the FACULTY and ADMINISTRATOR at the University is needed for this research study.

Please find attached a copy of the Recruitment Flyer.
