The ISTLD currently funds, administers, and facilitates the grant programs for SFU faculty members university-wide to support inquiry into teaching and learning, sometimes addressing specific questions or themes (e.g., decolonization, multi-cultural classroom). These programs enable faculty members to both implement teaching and learning innovations as well as investigate the effectiveness of those innovations or explore questions/concerns they have about student learning. The ISTLD team provides both administrative and research support to the project teams as they conduct their work, often in collaboration with other SFU units.
