Deep Dialogue Partners

Co-creating teaching and learning together

The Deep Dialogue Partners program facilitates sustained student-faculty partnerships by pairing a CTE Student Partner with a faculty member to undertake a mutually agreed upon collaborative teaching and learning enhancement project. The goal is to make partnership a mainstream practice by normalizing dialogue, co-creation, and imagination in teaching development work—opening space for students and faculty to collectively explore what teaching excellence can become.

We are currently accepting applications for faculty partners for 2026-2027.

The CTE invites applications from faculty and teaching staff interested in working with a student on a mutually agreed upon collaborative teaching and learning enhancement project. Applications are due November 4, 2026.
