Professional development activities
We offer a range of learning activities for teaching staff throughout the year, but most of our activities occur in the fall and winter terms. These include:
- Upcoming workshops for teaching staff
- Faculty interest groups and reading circles to regularly engage with your colleagues on teaching topics
- Teaching observations for feedback and valuable insights on classroom practices
- Mid-course conversations to get students’ feedback on their course experience
Looking for a specific workshop?
CTL can develop and facilitate workshops on specific teaching and learning topics for your faculty or TAs in your Faculty or department.
