SUMMARY:Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW)
DESCRIPTION:Monday August 24 (9-12pm)\, Tuesday August 25 (9-4PM)\, Wednesday August 26 (9-4pm) & Thursday August 22 (9-4pm) \nCranbrook Campus \nThe Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) is a four-day intensive program designed to strengthen instructors’ skills in student-centred teaching through practice and feedback. The ISW is highly participatory\, requiring active involvement in instructional tasks and peer-to-peer feedback. It is designed to build skills and confidence as well as enabling participants to learn from and foster partnerships with colleagues from other disciplines. Participants successfully completing the ISW will receive a certificate of completion that is internationally recognized. The ISW is most appropriate for anyone developing their facilitation\, teaching\, instructional\, or coaching skills – this may include (but is not limited to) instructional faculty\, non-instructional faculty\, staff from a variety of units\, managers\, and leaders. Everyone is welcome! \nFor those engaged in the Provincial Instructor Diploma Program (PIDP)\, the ISW certificate articulates to PIDP 3220 (Delivery of Instruction). \nRegister Now! \n*ISW cohorts must be a minimum of 4 registrants and a maximum of 6 in order to meet workshop requirements. There is always a risk that a scheduled ISW cannot proceed (if less than four people join) or that the program becomes waitlisted (if the maximum six spaces are filled). Interested registrants are kindly asked to carefully consider their ability to commit to the ISW\, protect their calendars to prevent scheduling conflicts\, and reach out immediately if withdrawal becomes necessary.

SUMMARY:COTR Museia: Zombies\, Epidemics\, and Mathematics: How mayors will save the world.
DESCRIPTION:This event is FREE to attend but we do ask that you pre-register online here. \nAbout the Presentation\nThis talk is about zombies. If this displeases you\, then I should tell you that this talk is about Epidemics. If this also displeases you\, perhaps you would be interested to hear that this talk is about math. \nWill all of the humans get bitten and turned into flesh-eating ghouls? Will we run out of food if we shelter in place? Can we kill the zombies faster than they are biting us? Should we run and hide in the country side\, or take refuge in the busy city? \nWe can use mathematics to study a certain situation (Like a zombie epidemic) by building a Mathematical model: combining different competing effects\, and then running simulations to study and understand the different possible outcomes. In this talk\, we will be building a mathematical model of a zombie epidemic\, and using it to understand the choices a wise mayor should make to keep their community safe. \nDr. Benjamin Tippett is a Math instructor at College of the Rockies. \nAbout the Speaker\nBen Tippett\, PhD\nDiscipline: Physics\, Mathematics\, Astronomy\n \nI have been a full-time mathematics and physics instructor since 2012. After instructing at UBC Okanagan for 5 years\, in the autumn of 2018 I began teaching physics\, astronomy and mathematics at the College. \nI completed my bachelor’s degree in Honours Physics in 2003 at UBC\, before earning my master’s degree in Physics from Queens in 2006\, studying general relativity. I then went on to earn my doctoral degree in mathematics from UNB in 2011\, where I studied general relativity and quantum gravity. \nI live in a little house with my wife Bethany and\, in my free time\, enjoy cooking\, eating\, building time machines\, podcasting\, and looking at photos of rabbits on the internet. I also host a podcast\, The Titanium Physicist\, and welcome you to listen in. \nThis event is FREE to attend but we do ask that you pre-register online here.
