About the Mount's new Teaching and Learning Plan (under development)...
The Centre is working on the Faculty Development 'piece' for the University's new Teaching and Learning Plan. Our team consists of a cross-section of faculty, from different disciplines, at different stages of their academic career. We are assisted by a graduate student.
