SUMMARY:Facilitator Developers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Ready to take the next step as a leader in teaching and learning? \n  \nThe Facilitator Development Workshop (FDW) is advanced training for those who wish to become Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) facilitators. Designed for educational leaders within divisions and program areas\, the FDW prepares participants to guide others through the ISW process and contribute meaningfully to instructional development across the institution. \n  \nBuilding on the ISW experience\, the FDW is peer-led and highly experiential.
