The PDFO, in collaboration with the Centre for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) at UBC and the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT), offers an Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) designed specifically for Postdoctoral Fellows. This 3-Day workshop focuses on the theory and practice of evidence-based teaching techniques. During the workshop, participants will discuss the key elements of learner-centred lesson design and adult learning theory. Additionally, participants will have a chance to teach three short lessons and receive feedback from peers. Participants will work closely with peers and ISW facilitators in a supportive atmosphere where they will begin to develop new teaching skills, enhance their existing skills, and/or try new and challenging ideas.

Participants in this ISW are encouraged to enroll in the Postdoc Teaching Internship Program upon its launch in the coming months. The next cohort of this program will start in November 2023 and is based on two components: the ISW and Mentored Discussions of Teaching, one-term participatory workshops in which participants observe mentors in their teaching, teach and receive feedback from these mentors, discuss the mentor’s approaches to teaching, and engage in group discussions of teaching.
