New Faculty Onboarding

« Return to "What's Happening in CTLI?"

 

CTLI supports professional learning and educator development through workshops, resources, and other training opportunities. New part-time and partial-load faculty are invited to participate in the Teaching for Success (TFS) program via a MyCanvas course during their first semester of employment. Workshops open to educators at every level of experience supporting inclusive, accessible, digital, and contemporary pedagogical practices are regularly scheduled via our Working at Mohawk portal (In MyMohawk), and we host a robust knowledge-base in our Digital Skills Portal to ensure instructors have the support they need to get started with MyCanvas and other academic technologies.

Teaching For Success (TFS)

The TFS program is designed to give you the foundational information that you need to start teaching at Mohawk College. The Centre for Teaching & Learning Innovation (CTLI) will provide you with relevant content to create engaging, effective, and inclusive learning experiences, while offering support along the way. IT is also hosted directly within MyCanvas!

Teaching for Success (TFS) is an asynchronous 11-hour professional development opportunity that focuses on new part-time educators at Mohawk College. As a continuous course, you can revisit any of the course content at any time. While this course is largely asynchronous, live sessions are also offered for those looking to collaborate with other educators. Synchronous sessions will be posted in the announcements section of the TFS course.

Through TFS, faculty will learn how to plan effective lessons and consider learning and teaching styles, student policies, and much more! Learning experiences are focused on the essentials of Teaching & Learning, MyCanvas, Learning Technologies (i.e., Teams) and other Resources/Supports. Much of the program can be completed independently.

Teaching for Success is:

  • Adaptable so you can self-select sessions that best fit your time, interests, and experience (i.e. Teaching & Learning, MyCanvas, Learning Technologies, and Resources & Supports).
  • Flexible so you can work around your already busy schedules.
  • Reflective, asking you to think critically about your professional practice (and, in this case, learning) with the intention to better understand and improve.
  • Collaborative through shared reflections and the sharing of additional resources, ideas, suggestions among the group.
