The document proposes developing a framework of teaching expectations for higher education in Canada. It outlines the benefits of such a framework, including providing reference for teacher training, professional development, and accountability. Examples of frameworks from the UK are described, including areas of teaching activity, core knowledge, and professional values. Resources needed to implement a framework include a coordinating body, funding, stakeholder representatives, and support from institutions. Feedback received so far supports the idea and suggests Canadian teacher training could benefit from a national framework.
