What to Expect
This 20-hour course is comprised of four synchronous in-person sessions totaling 12 hours, 8 hours of asynchronous course work to be completed during the four weeks of the program, and a capstone project, due two weeks after our final session. Each participant will prepare two ten-minute lessons and deliver these lessons to a small group of peers. For the capstone project, participants design a course syllabus on a course topic of their choosing.
 
Completion Requirements
To complete the program, participants are expected to attend and engage in all synchronous sessions, engage with all the asynchronous material by its associated deadline, deliver two microteaching lessons, participate in feedback discussions, and submit the capstone project within two weeks of the final synchronous session.
 

Completion of this program counts toward the Written Project and Microteaching components of the Western Certificate on University Teaching and Learning.
