The Block program is a 2-week version of the Fundamentals of University Teaching program.
How it works
The Block program is a highly intensive offering of the Fundamentals program that requires a full-time commitment for two weeks.
Participants are issued the same Certificate of Completion and transcript milestone as the regular Fundamentals program and complete the same programming, which includes:
- six workshops on university teaching and
- three microteaching sessions, where participants deliver 15-minute lessons to their peers and receive feedback on their teaching.
Registration
- The Block program is offered each April, August, and December
- Participants must be graduate students currently registered at Waterloo
- Participants must commit for the entire two-weeks of the program
- Registration is limited to 16 participants
The next 2-week block program from Monday, July 24 - Friday, August 4 is currently FULL.
