Documentation:CTLT programs/ISW Facilitators

Graduate Students

The Graduate Student Programs at CTLT are peer-based, meaning the facilitators are also graduate students from a wide variety of departments and faculties within the University.

The facilitators are responsible for the delivery, evaluation and modification of programs for graduate students, which are continually being revised and improved to better meet the needs of the population we serve. They review aspects of the program, procedures and materials, based on current thinking about teaching and learning. Facilitators also use evaluations from workshop participants, their own reports, ideas and experiences, and suggestions from graduate students, to ensure that we continue to offer workshops and services that support our graduate student population.
