Teaching and Learning Annual Report 2024

If you're a longtime professor or someone who is new to Trent, if you're a TA or a lab demonstrator, we're here to help you get the answers you need to become - or to continue to be - an excellent teacher. Maybe you want to find out about innovative, evidence-based approaches to assessment, or how to integrate Indigenous pedagogy into your courses. Or maybe you're wondering if you're reaching your students. Or maybe you have a great idea that you've always wanted to try in the classroom, but you need to figure out how to make it work. 

Let us know; we'll do our best to support your learning about excellent teaching.
