About this programme

The Adult Teaching and Learning program is an 8-course, 24 credit hour Advanced Certificate program designed to develop and advance instructional and leadership skills of new and experienced Sask Polytech faculty. The program is also open to other interested members of the public. For more information, contact Andrea Koch, ILDC Coordinator, at andrea.koch@saskpolytech.ca . Student success and their commitment to lifelong learning are greatly influenced by the competencies and knowledge of their instructors. This program provides critical elements to help instructors facilitate effective learning experiences for their students. The program combines theoretical and practical aspects of teaching and learning offered in online and face-to-face environments. It provides instructors with opportunities for mentoring, networking, collegiality, scholarship in teaching and learning, and the development of a community of practice. Students do not apply to this program, but take courses part time and apply to graduate (pdf) through Enrolment Services once all courses are completed. The program is offered in Moose Jaw, Prince Albert, Regina and Saskatoon; however, all students must apply to graduate through Prince Albert campus. The program is mandatory for new faculty at Saskatchewan Polytechnic. New faculty in ongoing full-time positions, ongoing part-time positions, and ongoing positions that, together, are equivalent to 0.5 FTE or greater, will be enrolled in the Faculty Certificate Program.
