The University of Toronto Teaching Fellowship is paused for 2022-2023. During this time the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation and the Office of the Vice-Provost, Innovations in Undergraduate Education, will be reviewing the UTTF model and undertaking research and consultations with the U of T community. If you would like to share feedback on the UTTF model, please email vp.iue@utoronto.ca.

To prepare the best possible nomination package for any award:
- effective administrative support and nominee engagement in the process are both required
- candidates should not be preparing their own nomination files (outside of drafting any required personal statements of teaching philosophy or educational leadership)
- sufficient time should be allocated to:
- identify and contact letter writers
- draft candidate statements
- summarize course evaluation data
- choose appropriate sample instructional materials
- prepare the written narrative that describes and highlights the candidate’s key accomplishments
Please submit a consultation request should you wish to discuss any internal or external teaching awards with a CTSI team member.
