Teaching in the Canadian Classroom

Effective teaching is an essential element of being an international teaching assistant and the cornerstone of presentations for all graduate students. Join us for a 20-hour seminar series, and learn to teach and present with greater confidence in the Canadian classroom.

In Teaching in the Canadian Classroom, you will:

  • develop and expand on your teaching skills;
  • acquire greater confidence when presenting;
  • enhance your language skills and knowledge of Canadian teaching culture;
  • become adept at giving and receiving constructive feedback on teaching; and
  • learn about the educational backgrounds and expectations of Canadian students.

Workshop activites include microteaching and discussions of cultural differences in the classroom.
