The UFV Teaching and Learning Centre is offering the Instructional Skills workshop and Facilitator Development workshop this spring. Spaces are available.
Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) dates:
Tues, Feb 28-Fri, Mar 3, 2023 (hybrid)
Tues, Mar 7-Fri, Mar 10, 2023 (F2F)
The Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is offered to a group of five or six colleagues and is designed to enhance the teaching effectiveness of both new and experienced educators. During the 3.5-day workshop, participants design and conduct three “mini-lessons” and receive verbal, written and video feedback from the other participants who have been learners in the mini-lessons.
Using an intensive experiential learning approach, participants are provided with information on the theory and practice of teaching adult learners, the selection and writing of useful learning objectives with accompanying lesson plans, techniques for eliciting learner participation, and suggestions for evaluation of learning.
The workshop encourages reflection and examination of one’s teaching practices with feedback focused on the learning process rather than on the specific content of the lesson.

University of the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford or Chilliwack campus)

Based on the registrations: Available face-to-face, hybrid, or virtual.

The Facilitator Development Workshop is designed primarily for individuals who will be conducting the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) at an institution. It is recommended that individuals participate in an ISW prior to applying for the FDW. The FDW provides individuals with an opportunity for professional development in a challenging and supportive atmosphere and provides connections to a larger instructional development network.
The FDW is a peer-based model providing participants with a small group setting in which to work on facilitation skills. The small groups meet in plenary sessions each day featuring such themes as: diverse learners, collaborative learning, and feedback models.
Location:
University of the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford Campus), Rm G124
Format:
face-to-face
Cost:
Per person: $800. No cost for UFV employee.
