The Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) helps U of A instructors create engaging, inclusive, and research-informed learning experiences. Whether refining your approach, exploring new strategies, or tackling challenges, we provide the expertise and resources to support your goals. Grounded in the U of A Framework for Effective Teaching, our programs and services promote evidence-based practices that enhance student learning and align with the university’s teaching priorities.
Consultations: Get personalized, course-specific guidance to enhance your teaching. A consultation includes up to three hours of dedicated support with a CTL team member. To honor Indigenous approaches to relationality, consultations focused on Indigenizing curricula may extend beyond the three-hour limit. Whether you need help refining instructional strategies, improving student engagement, or working through a specific teaching challenge, CTL is your thought partner and is here to support you.
Programming: CTL offers practical programming and workshops to help you develop your teaching skills and connect with a teaching colleague network. Explore strategies, gain hands-on experience, and engage in discussions with peers to enhance your teaching practice.
Faculty-Specific Workshops: Request a customized workshop tailored to your department’s teaching priorities. CTL collaborates with faculties and units to design sessions that address specific needs, challenges, and goals.
