The Centre for Support of Teaching has closed as of
Feb. 1, 2012
A pan-University work group is currently exploring how to inspire excellence in teaching and learning at York. The working group is led by Sue Vail, associate vice-president teaching and learning, and brings together faculty members and senior staff who are committed to best practice in pedagogy.
Recommendations addressing the way ahead will be presented to Vice-President Academic & Provost Patrick Monahan. The York community will be updated on the progress of the work group over the coming months.
