Teaching and Learning Institute
The Teaching and Learning Institute optimizes teaching and learning experiences of instructors and students so that they can be successful and fulfilled in their work, community and personal lives. The founders and projected outcomes of this two year pilot can be found in the About the Institute section. A list of learning fellows, instructors from each of Selkirk College's schools, who have agreed to be mentors for teaching and learning, can be found under People Involved. For more information on TLI, please contact the coordinator at 250.505.1342.
You can also find regular updates on our Teaching and Learning site, plus useful links and forms and watch this video which summarizes Theresa's approach to the Institute.
