Consider applying to be a SALTISE fellow
February 26th, 2026
SALTISE Fellows are a group of 8-12 faculty members from the anglophone CEGEPs across Quebec. Representing diverse fields of study, they share a common goal: to expand their expertise in evidence-informed pedagogical approaches in order to enhance and deepen the students’ learning experiences. The Fellows Program adopts a faculty learning community model, supporting instructors as they collaborate to build and share knowledge.
Fellows engage in enriching and extending SALTISE-sponsored projects, while also exploring opportunities for future collaborations aligned with the organization’s mission. Using principles-based methods and innovative research-informed tools like myDALITE, CourseFlow, Visual Classroom, and Perusall, Fellows produce course materials, lesson plans, guidelines, and best practices that contribute to the SALTISE website and reflect their growing expertise.
Faculty and education professionals may apply until March 13 here:https://www.saltise.ca/event/saltise-fellows-info-session-2/

Spudwrench: Kahnawake Man
- Wednesday, Nov. 19, 10 AM to 12 PM
This documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin introduces us to Randy Horne, a high steel worker from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake, near Montreal. As a defender of his people's culture and traditions, he was known as "Spudwrench" during the 1990 Oka crisis. Offering a unique look behind the barricades at one man's impassioned defense of sacred territory, the film is both a portrait of Horne and the generations of daring Mohawk construction workers that have preceded him.

You’re Invited! The SALTISE Conference is Coming to Dawson – June 4 & 5
May 1st, 2025
Looking for fresh ideas and inspiration to enhance your teaching? Join us at Dawson College on June 4 and 5 for the SALTISE Conference 2025 – a free, two-day event that brings together educators, researchers, students and pedagogical innovators from across the province and beyond.
This year’s theme, Connecting Communities Over a Decade: Reflections on past, purpose, and path ahead, celebrates over 10 years of sharing ideas and building communities around active learning and evidence-based teaching.
Expect an engaging program with talks, workshops, panels, and poster sessions—all designed to spark new thinking and conversations. The conference will also feature a keynote from Dr. Marcela Borge, an expert in collaborative learning and educational technology from Penn State University.
Last year, 19 Dawson teachers presented at the conference, sharing the great work happening right here at our college. We’d love to see even more of our community attend this year—whether you're presenting, attending sessions, or just curious to see what SALTISE is all about.
