Teaching Support

Supporting My Course

After a course receives CiC badging, we offer a range of teaching support services to help teachers effectively integrate communication skills into their courses. There are six types of support we provide, they are

  1. In-class workshop for writing and/or speaking literacy
  2. Teaching materials development
  3. Micro courses
  4. Teaching consultations
  5. Class observations
  6. Visual and Digital Resources (VADR)

Before each semester starts, we will send an email to the teachers who are teaching the course in the upcoming semester and we will ask if they need our teaching support this coming semester, and what kind of support are they looking for, the teacher will only need to fill in a form indicating the type of support they need, and giving us an overview of what they need, our CiC Consultants will then get back to the teachers for more information.

How do I request a teaching support?

Before each semester begins, we reach out to teachers who will be instructing CiC-badged courses. In our email, we invite them to indicate whether they would like teaching support for the upcoming semester and specify the types of support they need. Teachers simply complete a brief form to provide an overview of their requirements. Following this, our CiC Consultants will contact them to discuss their needs in more detail and offer tailored assistance.

The following form will be available for submission throughout the designated period, giving teachers ample time to complete it.
