UR Graduate Student Teaching Certificate Program & University Teaching Certificate Program

Instructor – Dr. Kathryn Ricketts and guest lecturers from the University community

The Centre for Teaching and Learning will be offering two teaching development certificate programs in the Fall 2018 semester: the UR Graduate Student Teaching Certificate Program and the University Teaching Certificate Program. For the most part, these programs will be offered through joint class sessions but will include differences in learning outcomes, expectations, and course length.

Audience
The UR Graduate Student Teaching Certificate Program, intended for Graduate students, is a twelve-week course offered on Wednesdays from 10:00 -12:00 p.m. The course will offer a comprehensive overview of the design, delivery, and assessment of curriculum in a post-secondary context; outcomes will include the development of a pedagogically sound course syllabus and outline, as well as the creation of a teaching dossier.

The University Teaching Certificate Program, intended for faculty, sessional lecturers, and post-doctoral fellows, primarily those with fewer than five years of teaching experience, is a nine-week course offered on Wednesdays from 10:00 -12:00 p.m. The course will offer a comprehensive overview of the design, delivery, and assessment of curriculum in a post-secondary context; outcomes will include the development of a pedagogically sound course syllabus and outline.
