Learning for impact requires a deep commitment to the continual professional development of our teaching faculty and staff. But it also requires that we value this commitment as much as we value research since supporting learning by sharing and co-creating knowledges and creative activities with learners is central to our mission.
Our consultations have indicated that learners greatly value the mentorship they receive from committed and engaged educators who can share industry and research insights that enhance their learning.
Concordia is a big, complex place with many moving parts. This means that it can be hard for each part to be in sync with others, sometimes leading to processes that feel inefficient, complex, opaque, and impersonal. When processes are designed with people first – rather than institutional imperatives – efficiency, transparency, and accountability become hallmarks of institutional culture. Efficient processes allow individuals to focus their energies and talents in places where they can make the most impact. As much as possible, processes should be transparent so that individuals following them understand why they are necessary. Finally, if issues arise, being accountable means addressing them in a timely way to build trust and respect within our institution. Committing to and acting on an ethos of continually improving our processes humanizes our institution and enhances opportunities for belonging.
