The Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning (SCOTL) coordinates two university-wide programmes of awards to full-time faculty: Teaching-Learning Development Grants and Release-Time Teaching Fellowships. Teaching-Learning Development Grants are intended to support projects which have the potential to make significant curricular or methodological contributions to teaching and learning at York, or to enable faculty to enhance their own teaching skills. Release-Time Teaching Fellowships are intended to provide recipients with the opportunity to develop innovative teaching and learning projects or to enhance their own teaching skills, when such development or enhancement could not take place in the context of a full teaching assignment.
