New this year, the Paul R. MacPherson Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Excellence in Teaching (the MacPherson Institute) is offering a 1.5-hour online synchronous Sessional Orientation. At the orientation, sessional faculty will learn about the McMaster teaching context and effective teaching practices, and connect with other McMaster sessional faculty.
This orientation is one of several teaching development opportunities for which current members of CUPE, Local 3906, Unit 2 (Sessional Faculty, MELD Faculty, and Hourly-Rated Sessional Music Faculty) may be compensated via the Training Fund.
The Training Fund provides limited, one-time payments for members who complete select training through the MacPherson Institute September 1st and August 31st of each academic year. Payment is capped at $100 per member for each completed training, to a maximum of $300 (i.e., to a max of 3 completed training opportunities) per member, per year. Please see the Training Fund website for more information regarding eligibility, the submission procedure, and the submission deadline.
