Own Your Future Conference on Teaching

May 14 - Full Day Event *online/virtual*

Offered in partnership with the Centre for Teaching & Learning, this year's conference theme is Future-Ready Teaching: Creativity, Confidence, and Community Care in a Changing Landscape.

Graduate educators are teaching in and through a world marked by rapid change, including new technologies, shifting student needs, evolving learning environments, and expanding possibilities of what teaching can be. This year's conference theme, Future-Ready Teaching, offers graduate students and postdoctoral scholars the time and space to explore how we can approach teaching with curiosity, flexibility, and a sense of shared purpose as we consider what practices we want to bring forward with us in this moment.

This year's full day conference (online via Zoom with optional in-person watch party) is designed to celebrate the many ways graduate educators are already shaping the future of teaching through their curiosity, expertise, and commitment to their values. We welcome proposals that highlight practical strategies, creative experiments, and reflective insights that help us teach with confidence and care-whether in classrooms, labs, tutorials, community settings, or digital spaces.

At this conference, graduate students and post-doctoral scholars may earn up to a total of two (2) Future Prof credits for the 深夜福利站 Certificate in University Teaching and Learning. More information can be found by clicking the registration links below, or visiting the CTL's
