The Schulich Teaching Chairs are faculty who have demonstrated teaching excellence and a desire to advocate for and support evidence-based teaching innovation. Chairs are responsible for fostering a culture of teaching and learning; championing teaching and learning best practices on-campus, online, and in community classroom spaces; and contributing to the scholarship of teaching and learning across all Faculties, Schools and Departments.
Office Hours: The Schulich Teaching Chairs host weekly office hours to connect and collaborate with colleagues to discuss teaching and learning best practices connected to their area of expertise. Staff, faculty, instructors, and students are all welcome to connect with the Teaching Chairs during these times to engage in conversation, seek out collaboration, ask for input on a research project, or discuss best practices to support teaching excellence at Nipissing University.
