The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
Faculty Teaching Chair
The Faculty Teaching Chair program is a university-wide program that provides leadership in cultivating teaching excellence at Ryerson. Faculty Teaching Chairs promote excellence in teaching by participating in a Leadership Institute sponsored by the Learning and Teaching Office (LTO), serving on an advisory committee for the LTO, chairing a Faculty Teaching Committee composed of representatives from each department in their Faculty, and by providing leadership in cultivating teaching skills for faculty members and TA/GAs. This exciting program fosters Faculty-specific peer collaboration and develops resources to enhance the student and faculty teaching and learning experience.
