CTL Consultations

CTL offers one-to-one or small group consultations based on instructors' needs for teaching support

A consultation is a tailored pedagogical support service providing expertise specific to the course or class you teach. It includes up to three hours of dedicated time with a Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) team member to enhance instruction in all domains of the Framework for Effective Teaching. In recognition of the relationality of Indigenous approaches and Truth and Reconciliation efforts, consultations on these topics may exceed the standard time allocation.

Request a consultation by completing the following form.
