- Assess various pedagogical and assessment options to address the aims of the renewal, support student well-being, and accommodate large class sizes
- Make recommendations for pedagogical and assessment practices for existing and new courses based on the principles above and specifics of each course's content and contexts
- In consultation with the committee, develop and propose options for the evaluation of new courses
- Develop and facilitate a community of practice in support of instructors and graduate teaching assistants renewing existing and developing new environmental science courses.
- Foster collaborations and relationships with UBC colleagues (i.e. Xwi7xwa Library, EaSEIL....) and community partners.

**Qualifications**:
A PhD is required in at least one of the following: environmental science, environmental studies, science education, curriculum development, pedagogy, or a related field.
