Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW, CTE6601)

The Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is an intensive, collaborative, and experiential learning model that uses videotaped micro-teaching and peer feedback sessions to support the teaching reflection and growth of both new and experienced instructors. The ISW promotes participatory learning and community building and encourages examination of teaching practices with feedback focused on the learning process rather than on the specific content of the lesson. Each participant will receive a widely-recognized certificate of achievement upon successful completion of the ISW, which requires 24 contact hours, over three or four days.

#2: Accessibility and Teaching Effectiveness: This session will show how accessibility practices are connected to Waterloo’s Framework for Teaching Effectiveness. No familiarity with the Framework for Teaching Effectiveness is needed for this session. 

This series is a collaboration between the Centre for Extended Learning and the Centre for Teaching Excellence, with contributions from faculty and AccessAbility Services.

This webinar series will explore how faculty and staff are supporting and using practices for accessible teaching to benefit all students at the University of Waterloo. Each 1-hour session will include a half-hour presentation by staff or faculty and a half-hour of discussion. 

Join us for an inspiring session with Vivian Dayeh, Brenda Lee, Savannah Sloat, and their students as they share their experience implementing a teaching and learning system based on an Indigenous Learning Circle methodology. This LITE grant project was undertaken with the goal of enhancing student learning in STEM courses during lectures and tutorials.

Although many faculty are well-prepared to document their research and even service, evidence of good teaching can be more difficult to provide.
