Instructional Skills Workshop

Course description

Available for 0.5 elective credit in the CACE program.

Only offered face-to-face at UVic.

In this workshop, you will improve your instructional skills and facilitate learning by designing and delivering three 10 minute lessons, and by participating as a learner in other people’s lessons. Feedback from participants and discussion of learning theory will help you develop effective teaching practices. We create a supportive and confidential learning environment where you can experiment and learn from others.

We’ll also:

• identify and discuss instructional and classroom issues
• learn how to use audiovisual media
• explore learning and teaching styles

Participants regularly declare that this workshop has been a pivotal experience in their careers. If you wish to be an instructor, then the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is the place to start!
