Curricular Development Projects
One of the associate deans and a standing committee of the faculty (the Instructional Support Committee) focus on support of faculty development related to teaching, learning, and the curriculum. They administer a budget to support faculty development activities and projects.
A variety of forums are available to bring faculty members across departments and divisions together to talk about teaching. These include: faculty-faculty tutorials, teaching and learning discussion groups, reading groups, faculty weekend seminars, and summer workshops.
Faculty members can apply to the Instructional Support Committee for funding to support attendance at teaching-related professional meetings and workshops, as well as support for course-related field trips and local classroom visitors.
