The Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is a professional development program designed for faculty members who are interested in developing and enhancing their instructional skills. ISW caters to individuals new to teaching as well as to those who wish to refresh and enhance their skills. Participants will benefit from practicing skills and sharing ideas in a cooperative environment. The workshop consists of teaching practice, theory application, and topical sessions specifically relevant to each instructor’s context. During the workshop, you will teach three short lessons and receive feedback. You will work closely with peers and trained facilitators. Through a supportive atmosphere, you will have opportunities to develop new teaching skills, enhance existing skills, and try new and challenging strategies.
