The Centre for Support of Teaching听Revisioning Work Group was听created in September 2011, with the mandate to develop a proposal that would expand and enhance support for teaching and learning.

Over the past four months the work group has reviewed key documents produced through the Green Paper on Teaching听and Learning and white paper processes. The group has听familiarized itself with the history of the Centre for the Support of Teaching and studied the mandate and structure of teaching centres at other universities.

A discussion paper addressing the future mandate of a teaching and learning centre is in the final stages of preparation. A series of consultations is being planned for March 2012 in order to seek input from听full-time and contract faculty, teaching assistants and students. Members of the 91亚色 community are also invited to send suggestions regarding teaching and learning support via this .听听

The new teaching and learning centre is expected to open its doors no later than September 2012. In the interim period, a second set of workshops regarding quality assurance and student learning outcomes is being planned by the Office of the Vice Provost Academic for spring 2012.

Faculty members and teaching assistants who are seeking support or advice related to teaching (including the preparation of teaching dossiers) should contact Sue Vail, associate vice-president teaching & learning, or听Celia Popovic, educational developer with the Office of the AVP Teaching听& Learning, by sending an e-mail to sperera@yorku.ca.

Right: Robert 贬补肠丑茅, vice-president research & innovation

The Office of the Vice-President Research & Innovation (VPRI), in collaboration with the Faculties and the University鈥檚 Organized Research Units, has developed a set of General Evaluative Criteria to provide clear and transparent guidance to researchers and research groups. The criteria will be used by VPRI and its advisory bodies to guide the prioritization of strategic research projects and other larger scale initiatives that require significant institutional supports.听

The criteria are meant to provide overarching guidance. Most projects will be expected to be built on a critical mass of excellence, have a research leadership plan, be strategically aligned and opportunistic, and to provide benefits back to the institution and community.
