Welcome to Yorkville University and Toronto Film School!
We are so excited to be launching this week of first-ever national new faculty and instructor onboarding and orientation program across Yorkville University and Toronto Film School…CTEI Ready-to-Teach!
The CTEI Ready-to-Teach Program provides introductory educational development for faculty and instructors as they begin their teaching at Yorkville U + TFS. The Program leads into flexible opportunities at the Centre for Teaching Excellence and Innovation (CTEI, or “The Centre”) throughout the year so faculty and instructors can identify the skills and knowledges they wish to develop.
At the CTEI, we see educational development work as relational and value building meaningful connections across Yorkville U + TFS – and we believe that starts at Day One with new faculty. CTEI Ready-to-Teach provides ample time for new faculty to explore various teaching and learning topics at their own pace via asynchronous modules that model best practices for online learning, while offering opportunities for relationship building with peers and the Centre.
We are so excited to meet you and start working together soon!
***
CTEI Ready-to-Teach is an 8-hour program, with 4 hours of synchronous and 4 hours of asynchronous learning and engagement spread across your first 5 weeks of teaching. Weeks 1, 3, and 5 are synchronous sessions with The Centre that you will register for to best fit your schedule; Weeks 2 and 4 are asynchronous modules in Brightspace that The Centre will enroll you in.
