Documentation:CTLT programs/CTLT Institute/2019 Summer

Overview

The Summer Institute 2019 (August 19-23, August 27-29, and September 4-6) is an opportunity to network with UBC colleagues and to share practices, research, and experiences around teaching, learning, and technology. The program is designed with novice instructors in mind, with topics ranging from the fundamentals of teaching and learning to more advanced considerations around enhancing student learning and progressing in their own teaching careers. The sessions offer reflective space and practical advice to directly support your teaching and learning skills development.

Call for Contributions

We invite proposals that will support new instructors and teaching assistants in preparing for and teaching their upcoming classes. The Summer Institute is a great opportunity to connect with new colleagues, share your experiences in navigating teaching and learning at UBC, and to build our collective capacity to enhance student learning and experiences.

In addition to the fundamentals (e.g., Navigating Your Role as an Instructor, Writing Effective Learning Objectives, Effective Lesson Planning, Assessment Strategies, and Writing a Learner-Centered Syllabus) that will be offered as part of the Summer Institute, we are looking for proposals that directly develop the capacity of new instructors and teaching assistants within the UBC context.

Institute Facilitator Community Workshop

We are offering an 1.5 hour workshop, The Opportunities and Challenges of Co-Facilitation, (optional but highly encouraged) for all of our Summer Institute Facilitators on Thursday, July 25 from 1-2:30 p.m. This will be a great opportunity for you to connect with fellow Institute Facilitators and to learn from one another!

"Co-facilitation is a dynamic working relationship between facilitators that support the group’s learning process. Join us to explore the opportunities and challenges of co-facilitation, discuss the structures and processes that enable effective co-facilitation, and reflect on your experiences and/or approaches to co-facilitation. You will leave this workshop with practical considerations for when you dance with your co-facilitator in supporting your participants’ learning as well as a mini-toolkit of co-facilitation best practices."
