ConnectED 2025
Teach, Learn, Transform —
Building Experiential and Innovative Pedagogies of C.A.R.E.
The theme for this year's ConnectED is Teach, Learn, Transform — Building Experiential and Innovative Pedagogies of C.A.R.E. We chose this theme for the way it situates teaching and learning innovation in the nexus between care, agency, and community. In the context of current geopolitical, social, and environmental tensions, how do we educate for a hopeful future? What does it mean to cultivate a caring generation? How does an educational institution such as UFV create flourishing communities of learners? What does it mean to be a change agent in today’s world?
As we grapple with these grand questions, we are excited to bring Dr. Carrie Nolan into this conversation as our Keynote Speaker for ConnectED 2025. Dr. Nolan has cultivated a pedagogy of C.A.R.E, a model for engaging students in practices that mobilize learners into action.
Join us on May 7, 2025 to explore these and many other questions with the help of an inspiring keynote address, a powerful day of learning with colleagues, and sessions to broaden our scope as an institution dedicated to excellence in teaching and learning.
