STLHE 2015

A panel of teaching centre leaders from a variety of post-secondary institutions will facilitate a discussion on academic institutional leadership and support for scholarly teaching. The aim of the session is to have an open sharing of ideas and discussion with teaching and learning leaders on creating a supportive scholarly teaching culture, mitigating research challenges (i.e. research ethics boards, supporting faculty transition to human subject research, grants/funds and “acceptance”), and connecting scholarly teaching communities with other communities provincially, nationally and internationally. This session will also focus on the multiple entry points faculty can come to being engaged in a culture of scholarly teaching at the post-secondary level. The panelists will first share the practices currently working at their institutions and then the floor will be open for participants to contribute their successful practices, ask questions and help build a collection of ideas for leaders to take back to their institutions.
