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.

Connect 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

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.
