Center for Teaching Excellence

In-person:
BR238, North Vancouver Campus
Contact: cte@capilanou.ca

The Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) fosters a distinct university experience for students by cultivating an intentional community of educators and walking alongside them to envision and create high-quality, meaningful, and impactful learning experiences.

We empower faculty, listening to our community as we thoughtfully shift between educator and learner, providing research-informed programming, mentoring, and professional development opportunities.

Book a consultation with us!

Here are just a few of the things we can work on together:

  • Developing rubrics
  • Creating learning activities in and outside of class
  • Active learning strategies
  • Curricular alignment (assignments, activities and learning outcomes)
  • Building classroom community
  • Formative feedback and assessment
  • Integrating technology into your teaching
  • Incorporating experiential learning and work integrated learning into your curriculum

We are available for in-person and virtual one-on-one consultations Monday through Friday 8:30 am – 4:00 pm to support you in your teaching, answer questions and explore new ideas for innovative and research-informed approaches to teaching and learning.
