CTLT SPRING INSTITUTE 2025 : PRACTICES THAT FOSTER ACADEMIC RESILIENCE AND ADVANCE INNOVATION IN EDUCATION
Are you reimagining how we teach and learn at UBC in ways that build resilience and inspire creativity?
We invite educators to submit proposals for our the upcoming CTLT Spring Institute, a multi-day event dedicated to exploring teaching and learning practices that foster academic resilience and advance innovation in education.
This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of create meaningful learning experiences within the evolving academic landscapes. We seek proposals that address:
- Approaches that enhance flexibility and inclusivity in learning environments.
- Strategies that empower educators and students to thrive amidst challenges.
- Innovations that reimagine pedagogy, curriculum design, or technology integration.
- Collaborative practices that nurture community and reciprocity in academia.
Selection Criteria:
- The session description clearly defines the session’s learning outcomes.
- The session description outlines a session group activity and appears interactive and engaging.
- The session is aligned with the Spring Institute theme, Teaching and Learning Practices That Foster Academic Resilience and Advance Innovation in Education. (See further details in the description above)
- The session as a whole would be of interest to Institute attendees from a variety of perspectives (e.g., disciplinary backgrounds, roles, class sizes, academic levels, etc.)
All proposals will be reviewed with care. We aim to include as many voices as possible in our Spring Institute program. Based on the number of submissions and available spaces, we may explore additional presentation formats with you, such as lightning talks or panels. We may also discuss opportunities to share your work at upcoming CTLT Summer or Winter Institutes.
Choose one of these four formats:
- Interactive workshop featuring hands on activities (90 minutes)
- Panel discussion (90 minutes)
- Lightning Talk Session (10 minutes + Q&A)
- Presentation with Q&A (15 minutes + Q&A) – ONLINE ONLY
