Instructional Skills Workshop By: CompSciSt Mon, Nov 30
Dates: December 8-10, 2009 Time: 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., daily Location: Lambton Tower G137a (basement) Do you want to improve your teaching and help others to improve theirs? Do you want to learn new teaching skills? Do you want to participate in a workshop where you can actually use what you learn immediately? Then the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is for you! The ISW is an intensive three day half-course that will help anyone who is currently teaching, or who wants to teach in the future, to develop and hone their teaching skills. Each day involves a workshop in the morning, followed by a microteaching session in the afternoon, where each participant will be videotaped teaching a lesson and will receive constructive written and verbal feedback from the other participants. Participants will also be given a copy of the video (on DVD or USB) of their lesson each day for review at home. The ISW takes place in small group settings, and the facilitators are part of a group of higher education instructors who have undergone training as facilitators in the ISW process, which is growing in popularity across Canada and internationally as a means of enhancing teaching skills. You will receive a certificate of completion. In the ISW, participants will have opportunities to: - work closely with other participants to improve each other's teaching; - practice a variety of instructional strategies and techniques; - increase awareness of participatory learning concepts; - recognize the importance of establishing a positive learning environment; and - increase knowledge of themselves as teachers. More specifically, participants will practice: - using learning objectives to inform learners of expectations and intentions; - writing useful, practical lesson plans; - using questions and question sequences effectively during a lesson; - using basic techniques to test for learning; and - giving and receiving constructive feedback. Facilitators: Lorna de Witt, Faculty of Nursing, and Erika Kustra and Michael K. Potter, Centre for Teaching and Learning Fee: $100 for faculty, instructors, and staff, and $30 for graduate students. Payment may be made by journal entry. Cash or cheque payable to "University of Windsor" can be dropped off between 8:30 and 4:30 at the Centre for Teaching and Learning in Lambton Tower, Room 2107.
