The Teaching Matters Seminar Series is a peer-led forum for faculty and instructional staff to discuss literature, share experiences and demonstrate practices related to teaching and learning. With some exceptions, it runs every other week in the Spring and Fall semesters.
Sessions are informal and all members of the SFU community are welcome to attend in person or via Zoom.
