The Instructional Skills Workshop is offered within a small group setting and is designed to enhance the teaching effectiveness of both new and experienced educators.

During this four-day, in-person workshop, participants design and conduct three “mini-lessons” and receive verbal, written and video feedback from the other participants. Using an intensive experiential learning approach, participants are provided with information on the theory and practice of teaching adult learners, the selection and writing of useful learning objectives with accompanying lesson plans, techniques for eliciting learner participation, and suggestions for evaluation of learning. Enrollment for the ISW is limited to a maximum of six faculty members per session.
