Teaching and Learning

The SPU Faculty Handbook names teaching as the “paramount responsibility” of its faculty (Section 9.1.2), and faculty are expected to demonstrate “superior teaching … designed to achieve positive student outcomes” (Section 9.1.2.1).

The Faculty Life 办公室 provides ongoing professional development opportunities to increase faculty members' pedagogical skills, and effective and inclusive student engagement.
