Impact
Over the last four years (i.e., since we went virtual with most of our programming), we’ve held 68 workshops and consulted on 243 participant Teaching Portfolio elements, working with 728 participants from 80 different programs on their teaching. 102 people have completed our workshop series, and 41 of those people have also completed the Teaching Portfolio to meet full program completion requirements.
You can also explore more information about the program and our impact in a pamphlet report we created in 2023.
But these numbers are only one way to capture the impact of the Apprenticeship in Teaching Program, and we’re about more than numbers. Below you’ll find other ways to understand the work we’ve been doing.
