About TILT
We partner with instructors to make sense of their teaching practice using theory, reflection, and action. We build capacity through consultation, workshops, seminars, grants, and communities of practice to help instructors actualize their ideas and values of teaching. We are self-reflective about our work and we share our stories to celebrate SFU’s teaching communities and promote recognition and respect for teaching scholarship.
Transforming Inquiry into Learning and Teaching (TILT) is a unit within the portfolio of Simon Fraser University’s Associate Vice-President, Learning & Teaching. We generate and support teaching and learning research and scholarship.
Built from a grass-roots collaborative in 2007, we work with instructors and faculty members university-wide to support inquiry into teaching and learning.
We create opportunities and entry ways for faculty, instructors, staff, and students to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) at Simon Fraser University.
Mandate
We advance teaching and learning research scholarship by:
- Partnering with instructors to enhance learning through the development of theory and knowledge of teaching and learning
- Embracing the multiple ways of knowing to support transformative and situated-practice
- Promoting instructors’ expertise and expanding our collective commitment to evidence-based teaching and learning through reflective inquiry
