Workday Student Training Hub
The Training Hub for Instructors has been created as a space for instructors to find training documentation relevant to the actions they will be performing in Workday.
How to Get Your Library Card:
Faculty who hold active appointments with UBC are eligible to a UBC Card at no cost. Please read How to Get a Library Card and meet with the administrative manager in your department for more information.
Placing Course Materials on Short Term Loan
Required readings, course texts, course packages, videos and high use curriculum materials can be placed on reserve for short term loans (two hours, one day, or three days). Visit the Course Reserves page for steps to reserve library materials.
Save time searching for resources and find an information specialist on the library website.
Temporary Class Cancellation or Day/Time Change
If instructors or cohorts wish to temporarily cancel days, (e.g., for additional school-based observations, etc.), consent must be sought from the Director of TEO in advance. If instructors are to be absent, please email the TEO to post a note on the classroom door that day. Instructors may also email their students (cc the TEO) to inform them of a cancelled class. An instructor may not cancel another instructor’s class.
Temporary Classroom Location Changes
It is expected that classes will be held in assigned rooms. However, if you need a temporary room change, (e.g., re-located to the Library or Computer Lab), follow these instructions:
- Inform the TEO as early as possible (this is important especially for emergency evacuation purposes)
- Email students regarding room changes
- Leave a note on the door for late arrivals
EDUC instructors who wish to request a room change for the duration of their course should consult with the TEO program planning manager. All other room changes are initially addressed with the deputy department head or course coordinator.
Classroom Courtesy
As a courtesy to other instructors, classrooms should be left tidy, especially following a change in classroom layout. Projects on display will be removed one week after the end of the respective semester.
Teacher Candidate Course/Section Changes
Instructors need to ensure that teacher candidates in a given course section are on the class list. Teacher candidates who are not on the list should be referred to the TEO. Changes to teacher candidates’ courses or movement from one section to another are only done in extenuating circumstances and require prior approval from the TEO. Before approving an overload for your class, please consult with the department head or deputy head, or a TEO program manager (for EDUC courses only).
Strike or Job Action
The Associate Dean of Teacher Education, in consultation with the Dean, will provide guidance to all instructors (regardless of department affiliation) if a strike or job action occurs. Every attempt will be made for timely and detailed correspondence to instructors, staff and teacher candidates via email.
Contact Information
Please make sure your phone number and email address are up-to-date. If you need to make an update, email the TEO administrative manager.
