Throughout his career at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트, Paul Grogan, a professor in the Department of Biology, has received numerous teaching awards from students, and from his fellow faculty members.

Now, Dr. Grogan is the 2023 recipient of the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s top teaching award 카지노 게임 컬렉션� the Chancellor A. Charles Baillie Teaching Award 카지노 게임 컬렉션� which recognizes undergraduate, graduate, or professional teaching that has had an outstanding influence on the quality of student learning at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. 

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m literally thrilled! It카지노 게임 컬렉션�s a huge honour and it makes me think of all those who have contributed directly and indirectly 카지노 게임 컬렉션� 카지노 게임 컬렉션�it takes a village,카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Grogan says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�My family (passed and present), my academic colleagues and friends, my course program associates and graduate teaching assistants, the instructional staff at the Centre for Teaching and Learning, and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s administration 카지노 게임 컬렉션� all these people have in one way or another contributed to what I teach, and how I teach. And there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s one last all-important group 카지노 게임 컬렉션� the students. Their enthusiasm and curiosity over the past 20-plus years have truly inspired me along this journey of mutual learning.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Dedication to students

During his time at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, Dr. Grogan has won or been nominated for a number of teaching awards, including receiving the Biology Department Student Council Award of Excellence in Teaching in 2010-11 and 2021-22 and has been nominated multiple times for both the Frank Knox Excellence in Teaching and Barnes Teaching Awards. He is also a two-time recipient of the Biology Excellence in Teaching Award in 2012-13 and 2021-22, voted upon by other faculty members.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Paul Grogan카지노 게임 컬렉션�s teaching practices, along with his ability to encourage and inspire others to be excellent teachers, make him an ideal recipient of the Chancellor A. Charles Baillie Teaching Award,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says John Pierce, former Vice-Provost (Teaching and Learning) and chair of the 2023 Chancellor A. Charles Baillie Teaching Award Adjudication Committee. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�He has shown dedication to his students through innovative pedagogy, commitment to his department by providing educational leadership to his peers, and engagement in the support for curriculum development at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Promoting progressive teaching practices

In the classroom and lecture hall, Dr. Grogan sees himself as a facilitator 카지노 게임 컬렉션� providing guidance rather than lectures to classes; advising rather than supervising thesis students. His goal, he adds, is to facilitate deep learning 카지노 게임 컬렉션� to move students beyond 카지노 게임 컬렉션�being told what to do or memorize카지노 게임 컬렉션� by helping them to develop their potential for critical thinking and independent learning. To achieve this, he engages students with a broad question or problem, focusses the theme down into a central foundational concept or mechanism, and then guides them to explore the implications of that concept or mechanism in a broader context, including making links to bigger 카지노 게임 컬렉션�real world카지노 게임 컬렉션� environmental and life issues.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�As I have noted several times in our annual/biannual reports, Dr. Grogan is the most reflective faculty member that we have, always seeking ways to improve his teaching and student experiences, incrementally and consistently,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Brian Cumming, professor and head of the Department of Biology, in his nomination letter for his colleague, adding that Dr. Grogan uses innovation as a teaching practice and continues to educate himself in new ways of teaching.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�For example, Dr. Grogan was utilizing learning outcomes before they were required, encouraging active learning through problem-solving and breakout groups, and more uniquely, using contemplative practices in upper-year courses,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Cumming says.

During this past academic year Dr. Grogan created a guidance document on 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Teaching practices to help promote Indigenization 카지노 게임 컬렉션� Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-Racism (I-EDIAA)카지노 게임 컬렉션� to raise awareness and promote progressive teaching practices. The document provides guidance and resources specific for the Department of Biology but also more general guidelines to help all teachers integrate I-EDIAA practices into their curricula.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Each time I stand up to speak in a big lecture course, or to lead a small seminar course discussion, I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m consciously aware that every member of my audience is a fellow human being deserving the very best I can offer,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says

That awareness, Dr. Grogan explains, is his primary source of inspiration.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I genuinely consider being a professor as an enormous privilege, and therefore that it confers on me a profound responsibility to continue striving to advance the quality and depth of the learning experiences I offer,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�For me at this stage in my life, people and relationships are what matter most 카지노 게임 컬렉션� and I카지노 게임 컬렉션�ve recently realised that teaching is a natural extension of that philosophy. The Chancellor A. Charles Baillie Teaching Award is a huge boost to my confidence and energy, and I hope for many more years on this wonderful journey.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
