Teaching Quality
Sheridan’s Centre for Teaching and Learning is a hub for a wide range of activities supporting academic excellence and a great student experience. We help create new programs and enhance existing ones; we facilitate the quality assurance process for all programs and the innovative use of technology in teaching; and we provide support to all faculty, new or veteran, in enhancing their teaching. All this is done within the context of balancing Ministry and professional requirements with support for innovative approaches that meet evolving student needs. The Academic Plan goals and actions described in the following pages reflect our collaborative focus on supporting the college community in meeting these evolving needs. For example, recognizing the diversity of our students, one target is to find ways to broaden the inclusivity of our learning environments both from a curriculum perspective and through support for faculty in developing their own teaching practice. Another is looking for ways to invite the student voice into our planning and then incorporate what we learn into college practice. We are leading the development of a program of teaching research and developing awards that provide meaningful recognition of faculty excellence. And we focus on improving the evidence on which decisions are made around curriculum, program changes, teaching practice and student support. In all, the plans provide an inspirational energy to our dedicated team who, like our students, are learning every day
