Online Pedagogy Series
Upcoming presentations facilitated by the Office of Teaching and Learning.
Pedagogy Series
Scholars from the Werklund School of Education and our school community share their Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) research and development through professional development opportunities facilitated by The Office of Teaching and Learning. Faculty, sessional instructors, undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, visiting scholars, and community members are all welcome to join us for the sessions. These series will be offered during the 2023-24 academic year organized as a sequence of sessions to help develop a community of practice. We also facilitate pop-up presentations that are one-time sessions based on requests throughout the year.
Our sessions will generally not be recorded, but presenters will be invited to contribute content to our vignette collection.
If you would like to propose a pop-up presentation or you would like to be suggest or lead a series of presentations, please contact us at tandl@ucalgary.ca.
This series is facilitated each fall by Dr. Nadia Delanoy of the Werklund School of Education and Jodie Walz from Rockyview Schools.

The Office of Teaching and Learning has regularly supported presentations by scholars within Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary and beyond the university community as well. We have a number of sessions planned for the year featuring Indigenous scholars from Werklund and from the broader community and we will feature them here as details are finalized.
Men who teach are always valued AND vulnerable. Dr. Garry Jones, Werklund sessional instructor, has lead a series of online presentation about, and for, men involved teaching. Drawing on extensive research, invited guests and personal experience, these sessions lead participants through conversations about the complex lives of male teachers, with a focus on elementary and early childhood teachers. The first presentations in the series took place during the 2024-25 academic year and we look to resume this in fall 2025. If you are interested in attending the next iteration of series, email us at tandl@ucalgary.ca.

This series runs each fall and has been facilitated by Dr. Verena Roberts, an adjunct assistant professor with the Werklund School of Education.
