Paul R. MacPherson Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Excellence in Teaching

The MacPherson Institute collaborates to enhance, support, and recognize teaching and learning at McMaster University. Since 2013, the institute has expanded its programs, workshops, and services, fostering an environment where learning deeply matters and teaching is highly valued. The institute's 2019-2022 Strategic Plan, shaped by a thorough self-study process, has guided its efforts, culminating in a Final Performance Report and a subsequent Progress Review that validated its work and identified future steps. The MacPherson Institute remains committed to its mission of advancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning through continuous collaboration with the McMaster community.
