What does the committee do?

-
- advising senior leadership on learning and teaching strategy
- promoting innovative teaching practices and technologies
- supporting professional development, mentoring, and recognition of teaching excellence
- aligning institute goals with broader university strategies and regulatory standards
- reviewing teaching related proposals and initiatives before they progress to the IHW Board.
