Teaching with Confidence (CTE1234)

Many graduate students experience low confidence in roles as teaching assistants and instructors, as they suddenly find themselves in the role of the "expert", rather than the learner. In this workshop, we will first explore the common roots of this lack of confidence. We will then consider different ways of thinking and strategies that can help all of us to increase our confidence in the classroom.

Additional information: Registration is required.

Please note that registration for workshops hosted by the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) open approximately mid-month in the month prior to the workshop. For example, registration for March workshops will open in mid-February.

Cancellations

Many of our workshops have waiting lists, so if you've registered but can't attend, please cancel your registration well in advance through the registration system, so that someone else can fill your spot.
