Documentation:CTLT programs/CTLT Institute/2019 Winter
Overview
The Winter Institute 2019 (December 10-12, 2019) 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 Winter 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 Winter 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 Do We Walk Our Talk? Creating Inclusive Workshop for a Diverse Learning and Teaching Community, (optional but highly encouraged) for all of our Winter Institute Facilitators on Thursday October 31st, 2019 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!
While the goal of the Winter Institute is to create sustainable, inclusive, and thriving learning communities and many of us are bringing a wide range of amazing strategies to help each other optimize our learning environments, have we examined our own facilitation practices to ensure that we walk what we talk?
In order to reflect on current facilitation practices, participants are encouraged to bring an old or current workshop plan that they are prepared to scribble over with new ideas!
