Teaching and Learning Center

The TLC hosts many events each month to bring educators together around a variety of topics, areas of interest, needs, and more. Recurring events include Educator Spotlights, Mentorship Lunches, Drop-In Coffee and Brown-Bag Lunches, Communities of Practice, and Western Showcases. 

Educators are invited to share research and/or instructional development with a multidisciplinary audience in a formal academic setting such as a Western Showcase, to contribute to a shared body of instructional knowledge through participation in events such as Educator Spotlights, and to celebrate their colleagues’ accomplishments in a variety of venues.

The TLC supports instructors as they develop and apply skills such as creativity, adaptability, and resilience within their teaching practice. We are your partners in generating and testing new methods to address challenges that arise in an evolving education landscape.

Educators can look to the TLC for guidance as they identify and implement instructional techniques and skills that align with current best practice. We are also here to help assess when and how edtech supports pedagogy and to support faculty in efforts to integrate edtech into a classroom with purpose and confidence.
