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.
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.
