LEAD Survey at UBC

In the Fall of 2008, UBC's LEAD Initiative, whose name stands for Lasting Education, Acheived and Demonstrated, commissioned Angus Reid Strategies (private company) to survey teaching views of faculty at UBC. The report is varied in its topics, including faculty perception of their role in student success, prestige of UBC with regard to education, and estimates of time spent on various teaching activities (spoiler: it's a lot). The major obstacles to improved teaching identified by the survey are what you might guess: lack of enough time, lack of resources, and lack of remuneration for additional teaching effort (not just pay).
