Centring Wellness and Inclusion in the Classroom
Save the Date | August 26 - 28, 2025
This year, the Teaching Development Conference at Queen’s invites educators to practice centering both inclusion and wellness at the heart of our classrooms. As we balance many interconnected priorities; enhancing accessibility, fostering inclusive learning environments, and designing authentic assessments in the age of generative AI, we must also be intentional about supporting learner and educator wellbeing. This three-day conference features sessions designed to help you reimagine student-centered approaches across your teaching practice, while also offering strategies to support your own wellbeing as an educator.

Accessibility Statement
The Centre for Teaching and Learning strives to make its events accessible to all members of the Queen’s community by offering some online and others in-person, as well as recording wherever possible. There are many factors that influence and constrain how online offerings are designed, delivered, and facilitated. We recognize however that this design and approach does not result in identical experiences for all. If possible, contact ctl@queensu.ca in advance for any access needs or accommodation. Facilitators will be available throughout the Course Design Institute should accessibility needs arise, and you can always reach out to ctl@queensu.ca.
