Teaching Awards recognize outstanding post-secondary educators. The Centre for Pedagogical Innovation (CPI) is available to consult on teaching award submissions and teaching dossiers. If you wish to discuss your application package, or would like to nominate an outstanding Brock University professor, please contact a member of our Educational Development team at eddev@brocku.ca.

Each year, the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) recognizes outstanding teachers and academic librarians in Ontario universities through awards. Approximately ten awards are presented each year.

Ontario’s Best Lecturer is a contest held by TV Ontario to select Ontario’s best lecturer in a post-secondary institution. Nominations are solicited from students and a number of rounds of selections are made based on video submissions and then a final selection of a top ten, or more recently a top twenty,  is made by an expert panel. Those top lectures are profiled and filmed by TVO and aired on their Big Ideas program and then viewers are asked to select Ontario’s Best Lecturer.

Over the years many Brock University lecturers have been nominated and a significant amount have been named as finalists.

The CAUT Distinguished Academic Award is an annual national award that recognizes academics who excel in each of the domains of academic life: teaching, research, service to the institution and to the community. The recipients will be individuals whose teaching, research and service have contributed noticeably to the lives of their students, to their institution, to their field of study, and to the community.
