Teaching & Learning Centre

What We Offer CNA-Q Faculty

The Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) was created in 2006 to provide leadership, mentoring, resources, services and development programs to support CNA-Q instructional staff in their teaching practice. TLC assists instructors in developing effective and innovative teaching approaches and focuses on ensuring that relevant, challenging and collaborative teaching and learning opportunities are available to instructors. We do this by: (1) offering individual, departmental, and college-wide advice and assistance; (2) organizing, facilitating, and delivering seminars and practical workshops (general and customized); (3) providing timely and useful reference and resource materials; (4) and modelling best practices in teaching. Specifically, we:

  • Coordinate and deliver new faculty orientation and training each August, October, January and April.
  • Provide instructors with mentors and mentoring opportunities.
  • Offer specialized training in instruction; for example, the Instructional Skills Workshop (ISW) and Facilitator Development Workshop (FDW).
  • Organize informal teaching-related sessions, such as brown bag lunches.
  • Provide facilitation of group process support to instructional leaders.
  • Support effective integration of technology in teaching through individual and small group instruction.
  • Maintain a Teaching Support Room with a variety of teaching materials, games, articles and tips.
