SoTL Scholars Information Session

Committed to scholarly, reflective teaching? Interested in not only conducting a SoTL research project but also representing Yorkville U and TFS as an exemplary SoTL scholar? This year, we are launching SoTL Scholars, a 2-year fellowship program which will provide funding of up to $20,000 CAD and ongoing consultative support to participants to complete a SoTL research project from start to finish. SoTL scholars will also participate in monthly community of practice meetings, as well as co-design and deliver workshops on teaching and learning. Full- and part-time faculty members and instructors in all programs offered by Yorkville U + TFS are eligible to apply.

Watch the recording of our Information Session on our new SoTL Scholars program to learn more and see what it’s all about – and reach out to us with any questions at ctei@!yorkvilleu.ca!
