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:20250905T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250905T120000 DTSTAMP:20260418T115200 CREATED:20250609T174221Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250714T153522Z UID:10000460-1757062800-1757073600@uwm.edu SUMMARY:TA Orientation DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nThe Teaching Assistant (TA) Orientation is held each fall for all new TAs.
