Vision

We envision an educational environment that takes collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based approaches to advancing positive change in teaching and learning. 

Mission  

In partnership with academic units, faculty members, and graduate students, CLT encourages the exchange of ideas about and lived experiences of post-secondary education. We advocate for openness to new ideas, creativity, growth, and development, to enhance the practice and scholarship of teaching and learning. To ensure quality learning experiences we take an evidence-based, relational approach to supporting effective teaching practices by integrating aspects of in-person, blended, and online learning; curriculum planning and design; embedding transformative pedagogies; and (re)creating institutional teaching and learning policies and (re)visioning infrastructure.

Values – Our CLT Culture

Collaboration
We work collaboratively across the CLT and the University to co-create outcomes that have impact and align with our vision and mission.

Collegiality
We are collegial and seek to develop genuine connections. We are intentional about showing respect and compassion for the diversity of people with whom we work, for each other, and for ourselves.

Courage
We strive to have the courage to advocate for positive change and seek to build capacity for change within ourselves and in those with whom we work.

Credibility
We communicate genuinely and honestly to foster relationships that can enhance learning and teaching at the university. 

Trust
We create trusting relationships with one another and with the people with whom we work, to establish open, authentic dialogue; to share different perspectives; and to build confidence in one another to have courageous conversations.

Professional Development
We invest in our own continued professional development and learning through self-reflection, mentorships, partnerships, and scholarly investigation.

Strategic Priorities and Goals

Engage in faculty partnerships and collaborations to foster student-centred and evidence-based teaching approaches, to further the development of meaningful and effective learning experiences.

Advocate for and advance transformative pedagogies in teaching and learning by working with faculty, staff and graduate students to encourage equitable teaching and learning experiences and promote mindsets/cultures within our institution that promote transformational methods of education that enhance learning.

Support creative and student-centred curriculum development and design by deliberately and intentionally aspiring to create deep, flexible, and student-centred learning experiences through course and program creation and revision within pedagogical frameworks.

Embed principles of wellness, respect, and balance in teaching and learning - encouraging teachers to consider their own well-being and the well-being of their students when designing courses and programs, and in daily interactions.
