What we do

We support faculty, postdocs and graduate students across the University in professional development as teachers. Our events and programs focus on development of learner-centered, research-informed and scholarly approaches to teaching, connect instructors with teaching resources, create space to collaborate, and encourage reflective practice towards teaching excellence.
