New Faculty

Documenting your teaching in a dossier involves harmonizing claims, narrative descriptions of practice, and evidence. In this session, we’ll review the typical components of a teaching dossier, aligning with Policy 77. We’ll review sample teaching statements, and you’ll begin drafting or updating a teaching philosophy that reflects beliefs, goals, and approaches to undergraduate and/or graduate teaching. You will also make progress on several other components of a teaching dossier, along with a plan to gather evidence for completion and ongoing maintenance. This session is ideal for tenure stream, teaching stream, and adjunct faculty.

Please note this is a two-part workshop. Due to the design of the workshop, participants are expected to attend both half days — Tuesday, April 21, 2026  and Thursday, April 23, 2026.

This assessment redesign workshop explores the implications of GenAI for assessment design, offering strategies to both harness GenAI as a learning tool and address challenges. Over two half-days, the workshop provides space, time, expertise, and peer feedback to help participants create assessments that are both innovative and resilient in the age of GenAI.

In our current political and social landscape, students are hyperaware and hypersensitive to topics that broach themes of violence, oppression, and power. The hyperawareness of students poses an interesting challenge for instructors, as they need to learn to address student socio-emotional needs without altering and jeopardizing essential content. 

​This workshop explores practical ways GenAI can assist in developing a wide range of teaching materials.

​GenAI tools are transforming education by providing new ways to support, individualize, and deepen student learning. But, to unlock their full potential, educators and students must learn to prompt effectively.
