Goals

At the end of the one-term course, you will be able to use concepts in evidence-based teaching to effectively teach a lesson in an undergraduate classroom, with emphasis on alignment of learning objectives, activities and assessment. UBC graduate students and postdocs from all disciplines are invited to participate.

Requirements

Successful completion involves participation in 7 out of 8 classes including pre-work, teaching one 10 minute mini-lesson and writing a first draft of your teaching portfolio. Upon completion, you will be awarded CIRTL Associate status.

There are no pre-requisites to participate in this course. The concepts are similar to what is covered in an ISW with more emphasis on theory. Previous students who had taken an ISW prior to FoP said that both courses complement each other well.

Workload: The course will be held in-person on Wednesdays. 8 sessions of 2.5 hours plus 2-3 hours homework per week.

Open to: Graduate students and Postdoctoral Fellows
