The UBC Centre for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL) Summer Institute is a five-day teaching intensive that will be held at the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) at UBC Vancouver from July 23-27, 2018.
About
The CIRTL Summer Institute is a five-day teaching intensive that combines an emphasis on learning evidence and theory-based approaches to teaching and learning with the opportunity to apply those theories in practice.
During the Institute, participants will engage with a lesson planning approach grounded in experiential learning theory and will explore experiential learning, as well as novice/expert learning, research- and theory-based approaches to goals and objectives, assessment, active learning and inclusivity.
The CIRTL Summer Institute is grounded in the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) model; an internationally recognized certificate in teaching that includes three opportunities to give lessons to your peers, and receive facilitated feedback in oral, written and video formats. Attendees will receive an ISW Certificate and be a qualified CIRTL Associate.
