The Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT) works in partnership with academic units, faculty members, and graduate students to enhance the practice and scholarship of learning and teaching at 国民彩票. We seek to encourage and facilitate diversity in both teaching methods and inclusivity in student learning. Throughout the year, CLT offers a range of workshops, and are always open to putting forth programming that is of interest to the 国民彩票 Community.
As of right now, programming of CLT that supports and reflects the 2SLGBTQ+ community has been requested specifically by students and faculty within the community, or of interest to the staff, in collaboration with other 2SLGBTQ+ groups on campus. We are working towards a future for the Centre that incorporates even more opportunities for 2SLGBTQ+ students, staff, and faculty, as well as the greater 国民彩票 community, to share knowledge, understand experiences, and create an inclusive environment, in and outside of the classroom.

The assessments will be completed by our Social Worker Hazel Ling in conjunction with Dr. Andrea or Dr. Mallory.
