Acknowledging that excellent teaching takes many forms, we value teaching that is learning-centred, passionate, reflective and informed by scholarship.
Engaged Learning We value integrative and intentional learning experiences and environments that are respectful, dialogic and reflective. We recognize that significant learning occurs in the classroom and outside of it, in both curricular and cocurricular settings, and that learning is strengthened when connections are made across contexts.
Research and Critical Insight
Community and Collaboration
Reflection and Renewal
We value the diversity of interests inspiring research and scholarship within our faculty. While respecting modes of inquiry in the disciplines, we welcome creative amendments to disciplinary orthodoxies and engagements with the unfamiliar across the full range of Boyer’s scholarships.
Grounded in respectful communication and open-minded discourse, we recognize that effective collaboration and development of community with colleagues and partners strengthens our work and is critical to the success of our programming and initiatives.
We acknowledge the importance of critical reflection and professional development to our growth and renewal, individually and collectively.
