Grow your teaching in new and unimagined ways
At the Teaching Commons, we provide leadership in the pursuit of engaged teaching practices centred on the student learning experience. It is important to us to create and support equitable spaces for faculty engagement for all who teach at York. We recognise the urgency of taking a direct approach to ensuring that we remain committed to, and transparent about, Decolonization, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (DEDI)-informed practice within our work. Being responsive to the latest developments in the higher education landscape, like Artificial Intelligence (AI) pedagogies and other impacts on assessment, modes of learning and student engagement is necessary. We understand that this work is iterative and ongoing; therefore, our certificates, offerings, and resources are continuously evolving to reflect contextual best practices, emerging expertise, and new scholarly literature pertaining to equity-informed pedagogies. As we continue to do this challenging work, the way we engage and respond will change, evolve, and adapt.
What is engaged teaching at York?
Because teaching practice can take various forms ranging in aims and methodology, it leads to questions on how to productively describe and engage with it for a variety of purposes (e.g., enhancing student learning, developing an informative teaching dossier, or applying for teaching related awards and grants).
