Abstract: Faculty training is not only an important part of faculty professional development, but also a key factor to ensure the quality of higher education. Canada attaches great importance to faculty skill training and professional development, and also boasts mature training policies and rich practical experience. ISW training program is a basic training program for faculty training in Canada, and it has already developed into a highly successful international faculty training program. Currently, faculty training in China still faces many problems, like the lack of individuation and diversification, participation and practical problems. Therefore, the systematic analysis of ISW training's objectives, contents, processes, characteristics, as well as its enlightenment to our country, will positively improve the faculty training system in higher education in China.
