After a brief introduction to sociocultural learning theory and limitations with the dominant notion of generic “soft skills” you will learn how to articulate and then teach key skills relevant to your courses that are embedded in disciplinary content and cultural contexts. Strategies for incorporating work-integrated learning (WIL) via authentic workplace problems\, job search strategies and career exploration will also be discussed. This 3-week course is designed for educators teaching grades 6-12 and instructors at the college or university level. \n\n\n\n\nRegister for Series URL:/advancing-learning/event/teaching-transferable-skills-and-work-integrated-learning-from-middle-school-to-college-1/ LOCATION:WI CATEGORIES:Career and Leadership Development,Faculty and Staff,UW Administration Events,51 Campus Events,Virtual,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:/advancing-learning/wp-content/uploads/sites/643/2024/03/uw-admin-graphic.png X-TRIBE-STATUS: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250903T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250903T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T084113 CREATED:20250609T153308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250609T160150Z UID:10000448-1756900800-1756904400@uwm.edu SUMMARY:Digital Accessibility in Microsoft Word DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nPrepare for the April 2026 accessibility deadline to ensure all your Canvas courses\, videos\, files\, and digital teaching materials meet accessibility standards.
