Beginning in 2022, University of Saskatchewan (USask) appointed six Sustainability Faculty Fellows for a two-year term to support faculty in designing, instructing, and assessing in ways that build student competencies for sustainability. In the first year, Fellows worked to embed teaching practices in their own courses such that students will be able to reflect, share, and act on key competencies for sustainability (designed by the Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning at USask).
In the second year, Fellows have worked within their colleges to support other faculty to make an impact through open educational practices and furthering learning for sustainability. This is approached in ways that meet the needs of each academic unit and align with USask priorities such as experiential learning through community-engaged or work-integrated learning, student wellness, or other priorities.
