Making the case for Teaching

In consultation with the Provost and the DVC (Education), the ITL offers workshops in Divisions to support promotion applicants in making their case for Teaching. These workshops are offered in collaboration with A/Deans (L&T)/Staffing, previous successful promotion applicants and members of local promotion committees.

These sessions deal with issues such as: how to appropriately use quantitative and qualitative student feedback data; how to supplement student survey data with peer observation of teaching data; how to make a convincing case for exceptional teaching scholarship etc.

The sessions usually last 1.5 hours and are held in faculties in the weeks following the Provosts briefing session. Sessions will be advised shortly.
