Teaching and Learning Working Group

Reimagining pedagogy, program innovation and educational excellence.

The Teaching and Learning Working Group will examine and enhance the university’s current teaching and learning ecosystem and make recommendations to facilitate innovative and transformative approaches to curriculum and pedagogy that enrich learning experiences and competencies, strengthen programs, elevate their competitiveness and enhance Carleton’s attractiveness and prominence.

Central Question: What must Carleton change or retain at a system level under changing external expectations of value, access and relevance to ensure that its teaching and learning ecosystem is responsive and sustainable; internally aligned; globally credible, reputable, competitive and prominent; and inclusively consequential in its impact by 2042?
