Inspiring teaching and learning on campus
The Teaching Academy is a community of institutional-level teaching award recipients at the University of Calgary, who have been recognized for their exemplary contributions to teaching and learning. The Teaching Academy provides opportunities for supporting the development of individual and collective teaching practices on our campus.
The Teaching Academy is committed to supporting the University of Calgary’s Ahead of Tomorrow Strategic Plan.
The Teaching Academy is intended to establish a network of colleagues who can collectively develop teaching and learning expertise at the University of Calgary. This is driven by the following foundational beliefs about the scholarship and practice of teaching.
Each Teaching Academy activity has a unique structure and mechanisms for delivery. These activities are supported by the Taylor Institute for Teaching and Learning.
Every academic year, the Teaching Academy provides opportunities for members to work on a collaborative project to support the quality and breadth of learning, which can include
