SFU has a strong record of teaching excellence, with a history of university level awards stretching back into the 1980’s and a considerable representation of national level recognition (e.g. 3M teaching awards). But what does it take to reach this level of accomplishment and establish a culture of teaching excellence? As members of SFU’s Teaching Assessment Working Group (TAWG) we invite a variety of previous award winners to share significant moments, turning points and practices in their teaching that contributed to their success, in order to highlight common threads in what award-winning teachers do. With an eye towards inspiring future award winners and celebrating the success of faculty, this session will be an opportunity to reflect on what we are doing well as a teaching community at SFU.
