Transferable skills associated with teaching are present in many aspects of our lives.

From explaining a concept to a peer, tutoring a friend, to coaching a soccer team, teaching can take various forms. The Foundations in Teaching and Learning certificate is an opportunity for undergraduate students to gain a foundation for success in various teaching opportunities they encounter on a daily basis.

This certificate will help you identify the skills associated with teaching and learning activities and communicate them to future employers, colleagues, and mentors. You will have the opportunity to put the skills you develop into practice in a safe and supportive environment through hands-on activities and microteaching sessions.

Note: This is a two-part morning session.

Register for this certificate.

Join us each Friday over the lunch hour for reflection.

You are welcome to join us beginning at noon for a contemplative art activity or, if you prefer, to drop in at 12:30 p.m. for the focused conversation as the day’s contemplative art activity continues. The 20-minute focused conversation will be on the Calls for Justice prescribed in the report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Stop by any day of the week for different activities:

• Mondays – contemplative music
• Tuesdays – Reading and Reflecting on the Book of Acts: A Window into the Early Church
• Wednesdays – prayers for the world
• Thursdays – Chilling with Dogs; multifaith teachings
• Fridays – Settler Work: contemplative arts; Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG)
