How do you build and reinforce community through your teaching and the learning experiences of your students?
Community can look like small acts of checking in with students or having them check in with each other. Or, it can look like making connections between your course, the experiences of your students, and the world beyond the classroom.
This month, we invite you to consider sharing these community connections within your own teaching, learning, and scholarship, as you read more about the upcoming Capilano Teaching and Learning Symposium, May 3-6, 2022 and the workshops and events offered in the coming months.

2022 CapU Teaching & Learning Symposium |
|
Theme: Community-engaged Teaching and Learning
May 3 - 6, 2022
|
|
|
|
Community-engaged teaching and learning (CeTL) is just what it sounds like: teaching and learning that is focused upon, takes place in, and partners with communities. Whether it is in your classroom, program area, Capilano University, or the greater community, at the core of CeTL is building and reinforcing community!
|
|
Supporting this key initiative of Capilano University’s 10-year Academic Plan, Illuminating 2030, the Centre for Teaching Excellence is proud to announce that CeTL will be the theme for this year's 2022 Teaching and Learning Symposium, taking place in-person at our main North Vancouver campus from Tues May 3 – Fri May 6, 2022.

- Focus upon community issues (local, regional, national, international)
- Take place in the community
- Partner with community members
- Learning activities that are experiential, work-integrated, or practice-based

Peer Observation of Teaching and Learning Workshop |
|
Wednesdays, May 11, 18 and 25, 2022
9:00 am - 12:00 pm on Zoom
If you’ve done faculty evaluations as a chair/coordinator or convenor, or evaluation of a peer, you may have thought to yourself “there has got to be a better way!” And you are right!
What to Expect:
By participating in the Peer Observation Workshop, you will learn how to conduct more effective peer observations and practice the skills and techniques used in the peer observation process. And you’ll also get a chance to “test drive” proposed changes to our coordinator and colleague report form for faculty evaluations that are being undertaken in cooperation with the CFA and HR.
Compensation:
There will be compensation for chairs, coordinators, and convenors who will be paid a week’s salary if they complete the 24-hour peer observation workshop plus 6 hours of HR workshops adding up to a total of 30 hours.
