 Even though it's not discipline specific and it's not specific to your role, it can provide a great sense of comfort. It also allows you to explore a lot of those things that maybe you weren't necessarily sure how to fit into your work day. So it almost gives you permission to do some extra reading or to do some exploring or to listen to podcasts or to talk to your peers in ways that I think are ultimately quite helpful to new instructors. The thing that really stands out to me is this ability to form relationships with my colleagues through the TDP but also the ability to form relationships with the folks at the CTL. I feel like there were always opportunities for individuals to bounce ideas off of one another and to receive feedback. And through those experiences, we were able to create relationships that were maintained beyond the TDP. So now I feel like I have my own community of academics that I can continue to work with. Teaching development program or TDP was a very valuable experience to me because it helped me connect with other instructors who were going through the same process. So we got to share each other's experiences as well as discuss how we would use those strategies and those resources to improve our specific teaching challenges. Throughout this program, I was in close contact with a senior educational developer. So they started with learning my goals, my interests. So I had individual meeting with them. The thing that stands out the most is the ISW. So doing the instructional skills workshop. I was able to partake in a teaching intensive where I was able to try lots of new things very quickly. That was something that challenged me in a way where I got to see some real progress in a short amount of time. So I would say this program actually gave me a clear vision for incorporating relevant educational practices in my classes and how I can incorporate team-based learning. Because I learned from other participants that they are implementing open education resources and then I learned from them, heard from them and then I incorporated it into my classes. I was also pushed to try some technology that I don't typically use. So I've never listened to a podcast before the TDP and it was interesting to find that and it was also interesting in terms of the resources that other people had available to them. And a lot of the other new faculty would share their worksheet or their assignment. The program makes it very easy to be engaged by making your commitments as flexible as possible. There are a few in-person sessions that you attend. However, a lot of the other sessions such as workshops are either offered hybrid or are scheduled according to your own preferences. I find that the commitment was quite flexible. There were many different offerings for all the requirements of the TDP. So even though there were many boxes to tick off, it didn't feel like a stressful process.
