Hello,

The Teaching Improvement Program (TIPs) is an intensive two-and-a-half-day workshop which includes presentations, discussions, and individual work. The workshop content is grounded in educational theory, which is applicable across all disciplines and specializations. A practical and focused approach is taken to incorporate theory into practice so that participants complete the workshop with knowledge and skills they can apply in their teaching roles. Workshop objectives are achieved through the experience of defining learning objectives and planning a condensed instructional session known as a ‘microteach’.

This workshop is based on the Teaching Improvement Project System developed by the Centre for Learning Resources, College of Allied Health Professionals, University of Kentucky, through grants from the WK Kellogg Foundation. Since its inception in 1975, this program has reached thousands of educators in Canada and the United States. The University of Manitoba became a program site in 1993. Modifications and updates to the original program were completed at the University of Manitoba in 1999 and 2012.

TIPs will take place on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, through Friday, June 5, 2026, at the University of Manitoba Bannatyne Campus.

For registration and additional questions, please email Ashley LaRosa, Faculty Development Coordinator by email (Ashley.LaRosa@umanitoba.camailto:Ashley.LaRosa@umanitoba.ca).
