ISWs are delivered to a group of 4-5 colleagues, who work together with an experienced facilitator to extend and deepen their teaching practice through reflection and collaboration. Both new and experienced educators can benefit from participating.

Over 3-4 sessions, participants practice several approaches to teaching and reflection, including:

• models for writing learning objectives and lesson plans;

• techniques to encourage participation, engagement and motivation;

• ideas to build trust and classroom community;

• suggestions for evaluating learning;

• strategies for giving and receiving feedback

ISWs are recognized at all BC public post-secondary institutions and many around the world. Each participant will receive a certificate of completion that can be included in teaching applications and dossiers.
