FCS Teaching Together Workshops
Join us for a series of teaching-related workshops throughout the academic year, covering a range of topics that are relevant to the work of faculty and instructors.
These workshops are hosted by the FCS Dean's Office and were created with the intention of supporting new faculty members. However, the sessions can often be helpful for all faculty and instructors.
FCS Teaching Talks
FCS Teaching Talks are gatherings for colleagues to get together and connect in an informal and relaxed setting about how it’s going in the classroom.
These gatherings are typically offered monthly and are hosted by the FCS Learning & Teaching Committee and the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies, Students & Pedagogy.
Please note that if a monthly gathering is cancelled or if you need any support between dates, you are welcome to reach out to Nadya Burton (nadya.burton@torontomu.ca), Associate Dean, for assistance or advice. Nadya is always open to collegial conversation and encourages you to contact her directly to check-in about about any challenges you are facing or concerns you may have. We are here to help!
