Summer Academic Instructional Skills Program Quick Start
Are you a graduate student looking to strengthen your teaching practice this summer and connect with peers across campus? Are you a graduate supervisor interested in supporting your students’ professional development by encouraging them to begin building a teaching toolkit for their academic careers?
The Summer Academic Instructional Skills Program Quick Start offers a series of introductory courses designed to build confidence and skills for teaching in both online and in-person settings. These quick-start courses also build toward the Certificate in University Teaching, helping you make meaningful progress in your professional development.
Bring your lunch and join fellow graduate students for these interactive sessions with the opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect.
In How People Learn, you’ll examine key learning theories and reflect on how cognitive, social-emotional, and cultural factors shape student learning and your teaching practice.
Developing Feedback Literacy focuses on helping you and your students make the most of feedback, with strategies like feedback loops, exemplars, and peer feedback.
Grading Assignments in Moodle develops your skills in digital assessment, including using grading tools, applying rubrics and marking guides, and providing effective feedback.
Sessions run Wednesdays from 12–1 pm, July 8–22, in the TLC - Robertson Library annex 228.
