CTEI Connections

Do you have a question or curiosity about teaching and learning? Are you seeking a pedagogical conversational partner? We’re here to brainstorm, discuss, explore resources, collaborate, and more! 

What does it look like to connect with a member of CTEI?

After you fill out the Connect with The Centre form (linked below), a member of CTEI will reach out to you via e-mail to set up a convenient time to chat. This is also an opportunity for you to share any materials or resources (if you have them) that may inform the conversation. 

 

We use the words “chat” and “connect” on this page with intention as we hope it captures the multitude of ways you may wish to collaborate with us in this one-on-one space. These opportunities to connect are one-hour, synchronous Teams video calls (do not worry, you do not have to fill an hour!) focused on what you need. They can be as focused or unfocused as you need. There is no pressure to create, redesign, or deliver anything after these conversations, and they will remain confidential with CTEI. 

 

If that sounds broad and vague, it is because it is! We want these connection hours to be as varied and unique as the instructors who make up YU + TFS – you! 

Connect with The Centre today!
