Piloted in the 21/22 year, the Maple League Micro-Certificate in Teaching and Learning is a nine-month program for faculty at all stages of their careers. Join an intimate cohort of passionate educators from across the Maple League  to build an innovative, reflective pedagogical practice. Available to full-time and part-time faculty and staff on any Maple League Campus. Registration is limited to four individuals from each of the four Maple League Universities.

​

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the  program, participants will develop their ability to:

 

• Embrace all ways of knowing and decenter eurocentric models which have dominated scholarship, teaching, and learning. 

• Critically assess teaching theories and models in order to find the ones which are best suited to their own teaching style, while serving all students well. 

• Build a community of practice in which they can exchange with, and learn from, peers from across disciplines – while also learning to create new communities of practice within their own circles.   

• Appraise and critique their own thinking and practices around the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and construct systems to help them maintain a critical lens across their teaching.  

• Develop their pedagogical toolbelt, with a wealth of tools and strategies to deploy depending on the individual needs that arise moment-to-moment.

 

 

What you’ll do

The Maple League Micro-Certificate in Teaching and Learning is centred on critical reflection and community engagement. About once per month, participants will attend an online lectures, roundtable, or meetings, and write a reflection which they will share with their colleagues in the program. You will also meet regularly with a mentor from the Maple League Teaching and Learning Committee, and take part in a three-day in-person retreat. Finally, participants will also take on a Capstone Project which they will work on throughout the year.
