Teaching and Educational Leadership

This Community of Practice aims to facilitate the growth, success, and innovation in all our teaching and Educational Leadership initiatives, and to provide a collaborative, supportive, and social environment to do so.

Teaching, research and leadership is at the core of all we do at UBC. Striving to be an institution that leads, inspires and enables students through excellence in transformative teaching is our daily challenge, and better to tackle it enthusiastically together.

This Community of Practice will be beneficial for, and we welcome, both new and experienced faculty, lecturers, and sessional instructors. Teaching excellence is at the heart of it, and often where our Educational Leadership inspirations come from.
