Reflection, Growth, and Leadership

Reflection, growth, and leadership involve paying attention to what is happening in your teaching, examining evidence from multiple sources, and using that information to make informed changes. This might include student feedback, peer review, self-reflection, teaching materials, or evidence of student learning.

Over time, this kind of reflection can help instructors see patterns in their teaching, document how their practice has changed, and identify areas they want to develop further. It can also support teaching dossiers, awards, promotion, and other professional purposes.

The resources below focus on evaluating and documenting teaching, using feedback and evidence effectively, and developing educational leadership through scholarship, mentorship, collaboration, and contributions beyond individual courses.
