This paper 1 describes an introductory workshop, Preparing to be a Peer Reviewer, presented at the University of British Columbia (UBC) to give hands-on practice to faculty members and others in order to provide formative peer review upon request. This workshop, which was designed at the request of a faculty member, is complemented by an Advanced Workshop for peer reviewers. We show the ways in which we actively involved Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) conference participants in a session to learn about the introductory workshop, and talk about peer review more generally. We briefly describe the Peer Teaching Network, created in the Faculty of Science, as an adaptation of the initial introductory workshop.
