The Sessional and Part-Time Faculty Orientation to Teaching and Learning is a live, two-hour synchronous online event offered by the Paul R. MacPherson Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Excellence in Teaching in partnership with CUPE, Local 3906, Unit 2. While the orientation is designed for new sessional and part-time faculty at McMaster, it is open to anyone interested in teaching at the University.
In attending the orientation, you will learn about:
- McMaster’s teaching and learning culture (including relevant policies and procedures);
- Course design considerations;
- Effective teaching practices; and
- MacPherson Institute supports, services, and resources that could help you enhance your teaching.
In the Winter 2026 term, the event will be held Wednesday, January 7th, from 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM (EST) via Zoom Events. Registration is required.
