“It is such a pleasure to hear from our learners how their instructors inspire and motivate them.” - SCS Dean, Dr. Catherine Chandler-Crichlow
Each year, the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies recognizes instructors who exemplify excellence in adult education. SCS Excellence in Teaching Award winners are nominated by learners who feel that their instructors have gone above and beyond to share their knowledge in a way that is particularly engaging, helpful and inspiring.
“It is such a pleasure to hear from our learners how their instructors inspire and motivate them,” says SCS Dean Dr. Catherine Chandler-Crichlow. “We know that over the past couple of years, the wonderful people who teach our courses have had to stretch and adapt like never before to keep lifelong learning alive throughout the pandemic. They absolutely rose to the challenge, exhibiting their fierce dedication to education and their students. I am so grateful for all of our instructors, and very proud of this year’s winners!”
