The Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is a multi-day workshop for faculty and instructional staff to develop and enhance their teaching and learning processes. Full participation for the ISW workshop is required. Participants will review teaching ideas, deliver three short lessons, and receive peer feedback to assist with instructional development. The overall purposes of the course are to work in a collegial, peer-based instructional process on teaching methods, foster a safe environment for individual experiments, and give instructors the opportunity to develop a strong campus-based support system. Successful completion of the workshop satisfies the required credits for ID3220 of the BC Provincial Instructor Diploma Program (PIDP).
