University of Toronto’s Teaching and Learning Symposium
Signal to Noise: Tuning in to What Matters in Teaching
In a dynamic teaching and learning soundscape, what still resonates?
May 13-14, 2026
Teaching today is shaped by competing demands on time, an expanding set of digital and classroom tools, and a steady stream of new ideas about how we should teach. In the middle of all of that, it can be hard to see what is truly making a difference for our students. Signal to Noise: Tuning in to What Matters in Teaching asks:
- How do we cut through the static and focus on what actually makes a difference for learners and educators?
- How do we turn up the volume on the practices that support deep learning, equity, and engagement?
- How do we filter out the noise that takes time and energy without improving teaching?
The Call for Proposals is open

About the Teaching & Learning Symposium
The annual Teaching & Learning Symposium is the premier teaching showcase for the University of Toronto. It is also a signature event for the Offices of the President and Vice-President & Provost, and by extension, CTSI. Participating in the Symposium is an excellent way to learn more about the concerns and interests of U of T faculty and is a key window into innovative teaching practices and teaching inquiry across all three campuses. Hosting a concurrent session is a great professional development opportunity and allows you to connect with members of our community in a deeper way.
