The Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, supports faculty submissions with the West Coast Teaching Excellence Award.
The West Coast Teaching Excellence Award, hosted by the British Columbia Teaching and Learning Council (BC and Yukon), recognizes excellence in postsecondary teaching over a number of years, primarily at the undergraduate level.
Meet UBC's West Coast Teaching Excellence Award recipients
An individual or teaching team nominated for this award will be characterized by a proven commitment to enhanced student engagement and learning, a reflective and intentional approach to teaching practices, and dedication to teaching improvement including successful implementation of any of the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
This award is an opportunity for recipients who are on the path to move from institutional teaching awards to national teaching awards such as the 3M National Teaching Fellowship. Nominees need not have won an institutional teaching award, however.
The BCTLC selects up to five recipients annually from different post-secondary institutions. Each institution can submit up to two nominees per year.
