CPI supports both scholarly teaching (the use of evidence to inform practice) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), which can take many forms including empirical methods, action research, and documenting reflective practice. CPI can support your SoTL endeavours through consultations, methodological guidance, support for dissemination, resource provision, and community connections.  

Brock University has an impressive and productive community engaged in Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), and supports SoTL projects through the Chancellor’s Chair for Teaching Excellence. 

In addition to Brock-specific teaching and teaching assistant awards, CPI also supports the preparation of applications to external awards such as the 3M Teaching Fellowship from the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE).  

For those interested in completing a specific teaching & learning project or initiative, the CPI welcomes applications to the Teaching & Learning Innovation Grants, or the Chancellor’s Chair for Teaching Excellence for those wishing to conduct research on teaching and learning.  

Learn more through our Awards and Grants webpage.

Whether you are a new instructor, teaching assistant, or tenured faculty member, documenting your teaching effectiveness should be part of your regular practice. The evidence you collect (materials, reflections, feedback) will help make up your Teaching Dossier – a succinct document communicating your values, beliefs, practices, and accomplishments as a teacher. At a high-level, your dossier communicates who you are as a teacher, and demonstrates your effectiveness through a curated selection of evidence. Learn more about how to collect evidence for, and develop your dossier the CPI Developing Your Dossier webpage.
