Have you thought about your professional development in teaching or continuing your career in academia? The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is offering a series of workshops that will help you start the Professional Development in University Teaching and Learning (PUTL) online modules. Although these modules are self-paced, each workshop will help by leading you through the components of one PUTL module and how you might complete it. Each session will be interactive and offer support to start working on one aspect of the deliverable or module activity. This is also a great chance to meet others and work through the modules together!
Note: Certificates of completion will be granted to individuals that continue to complete the PUTL online modules which can include work generated during this workshop series.

This workshop will explore how to complete the components of PUTL Module 6 – specifically an introduction to crafting a land acknowledgement.
This workshop will be interactive and include time to work on your PUTL submission! It is helpful to self-enroll in PUTL before the workshop and bring along any materials to help you reflect on your teaching.
