Each of Waterloo's six faculties appoints one or more teaching fellows to champion evidence-based, student-centrered teaching practices and advance institutional teaching and learning priorities.
The structure and responsibilities of teaching fellows varies across faculties. While some faculties appoint fellows at the department level, faculty-based teaching fellows meet regularly to share perspectives, foster collaboration across faculties, and support institution-wide teaching initiatives. The teaching fellows program was established in response to recommendations from the 2011 task force on Innovative Teaching Practices to Promote Deep Learning at the University of Waterloo. Its purpose is to support a culture of teaching excellence and to support instructors interested in adopting practices that promote deeper student learning.
