There are three main areas of graduate student programming currently offered through the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology: our Graduate Student Program, the support we offer departmental TA Training Programs, and our Graduate Student Certificate Program.

  1. Our Graduate Student Program consists of workshops, seminars, and one-on-one coaching on teaching and related topics (see list below).
  2. The support we offer for departmental TA Training Programs ranges from consultation on proposals for the TA Training Fund, to offering customized sessions on various teaching topics.
  3. The Graduate Student Certificate Program is an eight-month cohort program for Teaching Assistants wishing to prepare for a career in teaching and learning in higher education. Note that this program is currently under review and is scheduled to re-launch in 2012. If you are interested in joining the next cohort for this program, please get in touch with Gillian Gerhard.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies (FoGS) leads the Graduate Pathways to Success (GPS) program. It is a palette of non-credit workshops, seminars and other activities designed to complement your graduate program’s academic curriculum and mentorship experience. FoGS has also compiled a listing of electronic resources for graduate school success, available here.
