Our Philosophy

Students are at the centre of our work. We seek to enrich student learning and foster environments in which our students can thrive and grow. As Centennial College’s teaching and learning centre, we help the College meet the needs of our student community by valuing, supporting, encouraging, challenging, and inspiring our faculty, academic leadership, and support staff. We recognize that we are all learners on our own unique learning journeys. We believe in empowering and building capacity as a shared community of learning, inclusive of all.

We know that:

• We each have something to contribute and something to learn.
• We are all educators who deeply value teaching, learning and meaningful collaboration.
• Being curious and brave to try new things is how we move forward (and can be fun!)
• Critically reflecting on our successes or mistakes and unlearning are central to our work together.
• Small changes can make a big impact—not everything has to be perfect.
• Healthy communities spark joy, respect, and growth.
