Learning for Impact

BACKGROUND

This plan is Concordia's first comprehensive teaching and learning strategy resulting from broad consultations with the entire university community. It emerged from the recognition that the higher education landscape is changing as new demands are made on public institutions to meet the evolving needs of society and its citizenry. Learning at university can now take many forms and involves different kinds of encounters with knowledges, cultures, peoples, and histories. Our plan has the bold ambition to place our learners and their needs at the heart of all our activities, recentering our mission to provide the foundation for our learners to positively change the world around them.  

Teaching and learning, along with research, is the core business of a university. With this plan, we aim to ensure every student who chooses Concordia has a transformational experience with us, no matter the discipline, level, modality, or duration of their study. As a public institution of higher learning, we commit to being a place where learners can connect with others, co-create knowledges, discover who they are and who they want to be because of their university education.

OUR COMMITMENTS

To achieve our vision while respecting our values, Concordia will commit to focusing its efforts in 4 areas: 

1. Teaching for impact 
2. Learner well-being & success 
3. Faculty support  
4. Promoting people-centred operations 

The entire feedback process should take about 15 minutes.

Begin by reviewing our Vision and Values and answering a few questions. You will then be prompted to review Commitments 1 and 2 and so on.

If you have any comments, there are several ways to do so. Upon review of the Vision, Values and each Commitment, you can share your thoughts. Or, you can use the link located to your right .
