SUMMARY:A Workshop on Teaching Transferable Skills and Work integrated Learning from Middle School to College
DESCRIPTION:Learn techniques for teaching transferable skills (e.g.\, teamwork\, critical thinking) and work-integrated learning through re-imagining the nature of human competency\, how people best learn complex skills\, and how to re-design teaching activities accordingly. After a brief introduction to sociocultural learning theory and limitations with the dominant notion of generic “soft skills” you will learn how to articulate and then teach key skills relevant to your courses that are embedded in disciplinary content and cultural contexts. Strategies for incorporating work-integrated learning (WIL) via authentic workplace problems\, job search strategies and career exploration will also be discussed. This 3-week course is designed for educators teaching grades 6-12 and instructors at the college or university level. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Series
