George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
Supporting Your Teaching Practice
Teaching is a dynamic and evolving practice, and faculty benefit from access to resources, guidance, and community throughout their teaching journey. This section provides support for instructors at all stages, from those new to teaching at George Brown Polytechnic to experienced faculty looking to enhance their practice.
For new faculty, getting started can involve navigating institutional systems, understanding expectations, and developing effective teaching strategies. Access to foundational resources can help instructors build confidence, plan their courses, and connect with available supports. Clear guidance and practical tools make it easier to transition into teaching and focus on creating meaningful learning experiences for students.
Ongoing support is equally important for faculty as they continue to develop their teaching practice. Opportunities for professional learning, such as teaching modules and workshops, allow instructors to explore new approaches, reflect on their teaching, and stay current with evolving educational practices. These resources support continuous growth and encourage the sharing of ideas across disciplines.
The Partial-Load Registry provides important information and support for faculty navigating part-time teaching roles. Understanding processes, expectations, and available resources can help ensure a smooth and supported teaching experience.
Faculty support also extends beyond individual resources. It includes access to networks, services, and tools that help instructors manage their workload, engage with students effectively, and adapt to changing teaching environments.
Together, these resources are designed to support faculty in building confidence, developing their teaching practice, and navigating their roles within the institution.
