Camosun College is committed to teaching excellence. Through The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) a range of teaching resources and learning opportunities are available to instructors to support their pursuit of excellence in teaching practice, including:
This site is designed to build awareness of the resources available and make them easy to find. If there is a teaching and learning resource that you feel would benefit your peers, please contact CETL with your suggestion.
CETL depends on the strength of our relationships across the college as we work together to support and enhance teaching and learning at Camosun. We welcome your feedback.
Congratulations to Camosun's most recent group of graduates from the
Instructional Skills Workshop!
ISW is well regarded world-wide as a highly effective process for new and experienced educators to enhance their teaching skills. It's an opportunity to work with colleagues from across the college in a peer-based, supportive environment. Since 1998 Camosun has had over 800 graduates go through this program from all areas of the college, with support from our dedicated team of faculty ISW facilitators. ISW is just one of the ways we at Camosun demonstrate our collective commitment to high quality education!
