Experiencing educational development in higher education

A 2-semester program designed for graduate students interested in collaborating with their peers to support teaching and learning at York University.  Participants learn experientially throughout the year, and their educational development artistry will shine during the Supporting Teaching At York (STAY) symposium.

This course takes an experiential, inquiry-based, collaborative approach to learning about educational development. Participants have the opportunity to experience educational development with their peers. They choose what they want to focus on to support teaching and learning at York University and collaboratively design and implement different forms of support throughout the academic year. Synchronous class sessions throughout the year engage participants in activities to support their inquiry-based process, analysis, and reflection, as well as offer different lenses and facets of educational development.

Participants’ educational development artistry will shine during the STAY Symposium where they engage all graduate student attendees in active learning strategies to provoke dialogue and reflection related to the question that grounds their groups’ area of focus for supporting teaching and learning at York.

The STAY Symposium is an inspiring day to engage with peers about teaching and learning.

The course will take place during the fall-winter semester (September to April) and consist of four 2-hour synchronous sessions, two check-ins, and the Supporting Teaching At York (STAY) Symposium.
