I'll be starting my MFA in creative writing this fall at UBC, but to get a jump start on the whole grad student experience now, I've managed to squeek into a spot in the early July Graduate Student Instructional Skills Workshop put on by UBC's Centre for Teaching and Academic Growth. While I know twenty-four hours of workshopping won't completely prepare me to teach at the post-secondary level, I think it's a good start to get my head into an academic mindset. I've only done corporate teaching recently and I imagine the two worlds are not identical. Wish me luck.
