Capilano University Teaching and Learning Symposium 2023 (May 2-4)
Theme: Centering Health and Well-Being in Teaching and Learning
“Innovative educational approaches, relevant programming, collaborative community projects and creative physical and virtual spaces will contribute to a culture of health and well-being.” – from Envisioning 2030
We now invite proposals for workshops, presentations, and roundtable discussions for Capilano University’s Teaching and Learning Symposium 2023. A culture of health and well-being is at the center of Envisioning 2030, so how do we center health and well-being in our teaching practices?
Over the past few years, our CapU community has experienced how a focus on health and well-being can support the whole learner and create classroom environments that are conducive to learning for our diverse student population.
This year’s symposium aims to highlight how instructors purposefully support the health and well-being of their students and the community. We invite faculty to share, reflect and dialogue while showcasing some of the positive impacts of centering health and well-being in teaching and learning.
We welcome proposals from individuals, teams, faculty-student partnerships, panels, and community partnerships (faculty, students, and organizations).
Proposals may be for workshops, presentations, or roundtable discussions:
- Workshops are interactive 75-minute sessions
- Presentations are 20-minute sessions, including time for questions or interaction
- Roundtables are 15-minute discussions focused on one particular topic or question
Schedule
Tuesday May 2nd will be delivered ONLINE on Zoom
Wednesday and Thursday May 3-4, will be delivered IN-PERSON, following all Capilano University and Provincial Health Order recommendations for indoor gatherings.
Workshops will be scheduled for 75-minute blocks (due to their interactive nature), Presentations will be scheduled for 20-minutes (includes questions and interaction), and Roundtables will be scheduled for 15-minutes per submission/presenter.
