Centre for Teaching and Learning programs are open to all MacEwan University faculty and staff.
While some programs have specific audiences in mind, a diverse range of workshops, sessions and learning communities are available. Our programming changes regularly, so check our schedule for the latest offerings.
Teaching Triangles
The Teaching Triangles program is open to any instructor interested in discussing and reflecting on post-secondary teaching and learning with MacEwan colleagues. Teaching Triangle members participate in a reciprocal process of peer observation, individual reflection and small group discussion with support from one of our Educational Developers.
Teaching Triangles are a great way to
- Experience what other instructors are doing in their respective disciplines
- Gather and share innovative teaching methods and ideas with others
- Reflect on your own teaching practices
- Support your colleagues to grow and succeed in their teaching and learning goals
Contact us and we will put you in touch with an Educational Developer who can answer questions and sign you up for MacEwan's Teaching Triangles Spring or Fall program.
New Faculty Orientation
Designed to make the transition to your new work home pleasant and meaningful, our New Faculty Orientation has sessions in the fall. This program is organized through the Office of the Provost. For more information, contact Stacey Martin, Senior Manager, Provost Office.
New Faculty Learning Community
Part social and part practical, in our New Faculty Learning Community, you meet other new faculty members and learn more about MacEwan from guest speakers in a collegial and supportive environment.
- Enhance new faculty development
- Build a more collaborative university community
- Support new faculty by introducing them to resources and opportunities
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Learning Community
This learning community invites faculty to learn more about an important area of research. In a supportive, collegial environment, you are encouraged to ask questions, share ideas, learn foundational concepts and processes, and carry out a complete SoTL research project from start to finish. Members of the learning community work with you to set goals, establish a monthly meeting schedule and identify areas of interest. Special guests introduce you to topics such as ethical considerations for researchers and instructors or the best options for publication and dissemination.
All MacEwan faculty can participate in SoTL Learning Community events, including sessional, tenure-track and tenured faculty.
For more information, please contact us and we will put you in touch with one of our Educational Developers.
