Welcome to the Teaching Commons

Develop your teaching in new and unimagined ways

At the Teaching Commons, we provide leadership in the pursuit of engaged teaching practices centred on the student learning experience. We also take a distributed approach to Decolonizing, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (DEDI) -related work across our team and across our offerings, which you will find while navigating our website. To learn more about our DEDI-specific offerings, please visit our DEDI tab (also accessible at the top of our webpage).
