The UPEI Teaching and Learning Centre is hosting its annual full-day Teaching Community Conference on Tuesday April 28, 2026. This year’s theme will be, Connected Teaching: Connecting with Community, Self and, Place. Please plan to join us and save the date in your calendars. 

The Teaching Community Conference is an opportunity to breathe further life into our strategic commitment to innovative and connected teaching, research and, scholarship by sharing our experiences, challenges, and opportunities of advancing teaching and learning at UPEI. Conference participants are invited to reflect on this theme and consider relevant questions such as:

• What supports, skills, and critical capacities do faculty need to embrace the relational and connected nature of teaching?
• As we consider expanding the walls of our classrooms and broadening our partnerships, how do we ensure we aren’t simply supplementing traditional teaching practices but rather transforming what teaching itself means?
• How does a commitment to relational and connected teaching help build faculty capacity to recognize and respond to structural barriers students face?

Call for proposals will be posted soon!
