Are you an upper-year PhD student interested in pursuing a career in teaching? Then don’t miss out on the opportunity to take part in the EDC’s Preparing to Teach certificate course.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with a range of teaching and assessment methods, learn how to manage both large and small classes, and address teaching and learning issues particular to your discipline. Although informed by theory, the focus will be on teaching practice. You’ll develop new course materials and try out various teaching approaches within a supportive peer cohort.

The winter 2015 cohort is scheduled to run on Thursdays from 1-4 p.m., beginning January 29 and ending April 2 (excluding February 19 for reading week). The last day to apply is Friday, Jan. 23, and enrolment is limited, so register today.
