Facilitator Development Workshop (on Zoom)

[Cynthia Korpan]

Dear Colleagues,

If you have completed an Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW), then you may be interested in becoming a facilitator and offer ISWs at your institution or organization. To become a facilitator, your institution or organization must support your pursuit of the FDW and that you will become part of the team offering ISWs. 

Through the Facilitator Development Workshop (FDW), you will gain facilitation skills suitable for the ISW, with those skills being transferable to other facilitative work. As with the ISW, the FDW takes an experiential learning approach to provide you with new facilitation approaches and to receive feedback from colleagues. You will take on four roles, as a learner, instructor, facilitator, and participant. Upon completion of all requirements of the program, you will receive a certificate.

The next offering is from Monday, November 17 to Friday, November 21, 2025, each day from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm Pacific time zone

Location: Online on Zoom with asynchronous support and materials through a learning management system

Cost: $800.00 CAD or $600.00 USD per person

Your facilitators have over 18 years experience as ISW facilitators and trainers (training other facilitators) and are skilled at creating a learning environment that is supportive and engaging.  

If interested, please go here to find out more and to fill out the application form.

Please don't hesitate to forward this email to colleagues at your institution who have completed the ISW. 

Regards,

Cynthia
