Faculty Partners
A new initiative that aims to more effectively address the teaching and learning needs of faculty leaders and members of the teaching staff.
A new initiative from the TLSS team
The Faculty Partners program is a new initiative designed to strengthen collaboration between TLSS specialists in educational development and digital learning and the various faculties across the University. This support model is built on establishing dedicated partnerships between each faculty and a team of specialists, enabling more proactive and personalized support aligned with each faculty’s strategic priorities.
The primary objective of the program is to support faculty leaders and teaching staff in the continuous improvement of teaching, the advancement of educational innovation, and the implementation of evidence‑based practices. Specialists serve as strategic advisors and liaisons, providing guidance and support at both the individual and faculty levels.

Strategic liaison with faculty leaders

In their role as Faculty Partners, TLSS specialists act as a primary point of contact, offering advisory support aimed at:
- identifying the faculty's specific educational needs;
- supporting the planning and implementation of teaching-related strategies;
- ensuring the sharing of strategic information, including TLSS initiatives and emerging practices.
Privileged contact for faculty members

TLSS specialists, in their role as Faculty Partners, offer simplified access and personalized support to faculty members based on:
- individual or group consultations;
- support in integrating teaching and learning technologies;
- support in designing, revising, or improving courses and teaching practices.
