The University of British Columbia

This 3-day workshop, which focuses on teaching groups of students, is designed to enhance the teaching effectiveness of both new and experienced educators. In a supportive atmosphere, you will have a chance to try new teaching approaches and to sharpen existing skills. During the workshop, you will design and conduct three “mini-lessons” and receive verbal, written and video feedback from your peers. In addition, you will reflect on your own teaching practices. The success of this program relies on the active participation and collaboration of all participants who, as a team, work together to support each other in enhancing their teaching effectiveness. A certificate of completion will be awarded to each participant.

Registration Procedure

Step 1. Complete and submit the online registration form. You will receive an email confirming receipt of your application.

- If there is a space in the workshop, you will be asked to proceed to step 2.
- If the workshop is full, you will be put on a waitlist and there is no further action required on your behalf unless you get notified that a space has become available for you.

Step 2. Submit a $50 deposit (see note 1 below)

Once you submit the $50 deposit by cheque (see note 2 below), you will receive an email indicating your registration status. Since we do not "hold" spots for the ISW, we strongly encourage you to drop the deposit off as soon as you have received an email indicating that there is space in the ISW for which you have registered.

How do I know when my registration is confirmed?

Your registration is confirmed only when you receive an email indicating that you have a spot reserved in the ISW for which you have applied.

What happens next?

You will receive another email with more details on how to prepare for the ISW. Then, approximately one week before the start date, a workshop facilitator will phone you.

Note 1. If you have to cancel out of the workshop, or if you are unable to complete the three days of the workshop once it has started, for any reason, the deposit cannot be refunded or transferred to other workshop dates.

This deposit is refunded only upon completion of the workshop.
