This workshop is for faculty members and staff interested in developing and enhancing their instructional skills. It consists of teaching practice, theory application and topical sessions specifically relevant to each instructor’s context.
During this supportive workshop you will have opportunities to develop new teaching skills, to enhance existing skills, and/or try implementing new and challenging ideas or technologies. You will work closely with a small group of peers and trained facilitators to prepare and teach short lessons and receive feedback.
Participants who successfully complete the 30-hour program will receive a certificate of completion that may be applied as credit towards the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program.
Each workshop has limited seats available, so register early to hold your space.

External Participants #
If you are from outside TRU and wish to take the ISW we ask that you contact CELT via email indicating your background in teaching and why you wish to join the ISW. Priority is given to TRU faculty and staff, but occasionally will accept external participants when and if we have room. The cost for participants external to TRU is $350, payable by cash or cheque.
Facilitator Development Workshop #
Have you participated in an instructional skills workshop? If so, you’re now eligible to become a facilitator of ISWs.
The facilitator development workshop is a five-day interactive workshop designed to help participants develop and refine facilitation skills through peer feedback in a supportive environment. Participants practise their teaching techniques through mini-lessons, plus they develop and enhance strategies for facilitating the group instructional skills workshop process.
This workshop is ideal for anyone who wishes to facilitate future instructional skills workshops. It also helps participants improve their facilitation skills in other group settings, such as classrooms and meetings.
As well, participants have the opportunity to experiment with new teaching methods, to explore formative assessment techniques, and to receive feedback on their own teaching and facilitating skills.
FDWs are typically offered through CELT annually, in April, May or June.
