The University of Waterloo's Centre for Teaching Excellence collaborates with individuals, academic departments, and academic support units to foster capacity and community around teaching and to promote an institutional culture that values effective teaching and meaningful learning.
Last year, CTE provided more than 2500 consultations to nearly 1000 instructors, graduate students, and staff members! See our other "vital statistics" for that year!
