The Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is a four day, interdisciplinary workshop for faculty, postdocs and graduate students that allows you to explore teaching concepts, build on existing abilities, and practice new teaching approaches.

The Faculty Teaching Certificate (FTC) is a six-day, in-depth program designed to enhance your teaching effectiveness.

The University Teaching Certificate (UTC) is a six-day program designed to prepare graduate students to successfully meet their teaching responsibilities now and in the future.

The Teaching in Canadian Classrooms (TCC) is a five day program designed for international professors, instructors and teaching assistants to provide opportunities to enhance their teaching by improving their communication abilities and gain a deeper understanding of the academic culture in Canadian university classrooms.

This three-day, hands-on workshop gives U of C instructors and graduate students the skills they need to design or modify courses with first-year students in mind.
