Did you know that Student Life’s Leadership Program offers leadership workshops by request?

The Workshop By Request Program allows staff and faculty to easily request leadership workshops to be facilitated in the classroom or student training sessions by a professional staff member. Staff and faculty can select from the list of available workshop offerings, including:

  • Personal Values & Ethics
  • Leading Others & Group Dynamics 
  • Conflict Management 
  • Professionalism
  • Assertive Communication 
  • Goal Setting  
  • Bringing in the Bystander*

This is a great opportunity to enhance the curriculum, proactively provide additional skills and tools to students and to emphasize connections between leadership skills and their academic area of study. To create the best learning experience, we highly recommend that the faculty or staff member be present during the workshop to assist in facilitating questions that may arise and aid in bridging content with course material. To best facilitate this, we highly recommend connecting with the Coordinator, Leadership Programs to discuss tailored case studies and expectations for classroom participation during the interactive components.

Not sure if the workshop fits your curriculum or training goals? Staff and faculty can also request some customization of an already offered workshop in order to best fit the student group to which it will be delivered. Requests are to be submitted 4 weeks in advance to allow for scheduling and workshop prep and can be submitted here: humber.ca/studentleadership/resources/leadership-workshop-request-program

For more information, visit our web-page and the attached information hand out.

* This 2 hour training program will discuss how we can all play a role as active, positive bystanders and create a community that is safer from sexual and relationship violence. The program teaches bystanders how to safely intervene in instances where an incident may be occurring or where there may be risk. Through in-depth discussion of issues and common scenarios, participants come to understand how they play a part in proactively preventing sexual and relationship violence, and how they can help survivors get the help and support they need.

Tara Lew is Moving to a New Position
View in full page
When:
September 14, 2017

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Tara Lew has decided to spread her wings and take on an exciting new role as Educational Consultant with the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

In her 15 years at Humber, Tara has touched many people. She is the heart and soul of the Teaching Effectiveness Certificate (TEC), a key mentor for new part time instructors and the energy behind many workshops. In the time I have worked with Tara, she has been a member of the design team for the Inclusive Design Certificate, the re-imagining of the TEC resources and most recently, ensuring the online deployment of TEC. Tara’s enthusiasm for teaching and learning, compassion for people, and engaging methods will be greatly missed.

Please join us on Wednesday, September 27th, 3 - 5 p.m., in the community room (NX111) at the North campus to celebrate with Tara before she moves to her next adventure.

Director of Professional Learning, Centre for Teaching and Learning
