On Friday June 21st, 53 faculty from across the college presented their TLA3 projects. Congratulations! Thank you to all participants for your creativity, collegiality and commitment to teaching and learning excellence. The projects were comprehensive and represented an array of topics, across all Faculties. Thank-you to the college community who came out in support of their work.
The faculty development team has been working on a number of initiatives to support teaching and learning. Upcoming Events include:
- Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) Oct 21, 22, 23. ISW is a 3-day, transformative learning experience that is engaging, practical and energizing.

Preference will be given to faculty with a minimum of five years full-time teaching experience at Sheridan. Application information to follow.
