About us

We build collective wisdom by inviting conversations and partnerships that connect internal and external groups. By working collaboratively across disciplines, we leverage diverse perspectives to strengthen our practices and elevate student success. Through leading with a collaborative spirit and mutual respect, we ensure that every voice contributes to a shared vision of transformative learning.

Strategic priorities include:

• Strengthen and broaden instructor engagement to foster teaching practices that contribute to student learning and success
• Cultivate and support cross-disciplinary collaboration and partnerships through peer-to-peer connections in learning and teaching
• Engage with internal and external partners to address current and plan for emerging learning and teaching needs
• Advance our division as an integral partner in program curriculum development and redesign, as well as in initiatives concerning student learning and success on campus

We embrace a culture of creativity, flexibility, and openness by facilitating risk-taking for growth and development. Through modeling learning and teaching, we encourage the freedom to explore new ideas, learn from mistakes, and iterate on our approaches toward better practices. By sharing experimental outcomes, we collectively foster an environment where curiosity leads to innovation and continuous improvement.

Strategic priorities include:

• Establish a supportive environment for creativity and the exploration of improving student learning outcomes

• Facilitate evidence-based implementation and evaluation of innovative pedagogical methods in post-secondary education
• Promote the sharing of insights and learning gained through experimenting

We put people first by creating inclusive opportunities for growth and innovation, ensuring that diverse voices are heard, represented, and respected. By addressing barriers and being aware of power and privilege dynamics, we advocate for equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging for all. Our commitment to inclusion is rooted in fostering an environment where everyone can thrive and contribute their unique perspectives within the learning and teaching landscape.
