Newly approved by the SFU Senate, the Institute for the Study of Teaching and Learning in the Disciplines will open its doors in late 2007. The primary purpose of the Institute is to inspire, support and enhance faculty-led inquiry into all aspects of teaching and learning at SFU. Faculty-led inquiry is discipline-focused, initiated by individual faculty members or groups of faculty, and related to questions about teaching and learning specifically of interest to faculty. Two aspects of the Institute will be primary in supporting faculty-led inquiry:

  • Faculty-Led Inquiry Projects: Funds will be made available through the Institute for faculty-led inquiry that adheres to specific criteria. The findings of these projects will be made public, through both informal university presentations and publications and more formal external presentations and publications
  • Faculty Teaching Scholars: These individual faculty members will serve as the core membership of the Institute. Committed to further developing their knowledge of the teaching and learning process in their respective disciplines, they will work with other faculty interested in such development through Institute-sponsored projects.
