Now in its 8th year the CTL’s popular Teaching and Learning Winterfest is back. The theme of Winterfest 2020 goes right to the heart of innovation and academic leadership. Through reflective teaching practices, scholarly research, and a commitment to educational development, faculty at Concordia continue to prepare themselves for the critical undertaking of helping students achieve intellectual and personal transformation and growth.
At Winterfest 2020 we’ll hear from Concordia faculty who have worked diligently and with passion, intelligence and meaning to advance these vital elements through a commitment to creating the right conditions and opportunities for their students.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to meet and hear from faculty who have lived the experience of imagining change and making it a reality within their own course teaching and in some cases as part of the advancement of their own departments and faculties.
Faculty will reveal how a passion for their discipline, a commitment to teaching, and learning to deal with impasses all translate into educational leadership, new ways of doing things that mean the difference between a higher education that trains students and one that transforms them.
