About the FLO MicroCourse
Join our next free, one-week Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) MicroCourse!
As post-secondary educators become more aware of, and proficient with, trauma-informed and student-centred approaches to teaching, a greater understanding of the need to create and set boundaries with students has emerged.
This micro-course offers participants the opportunity to consider and reflect on their own professional boundaries as well as discuss and practice boundary setting.
While most of the learning will happen asynchronously, we will offer two optional synchronous sessions in Zoom:
- Monday, May 27 – 5:00-6:00 p.m. PT
- Friday, May 31 – 12:00-1:00 p.m. PT
These sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend.
