Welcome to the Centre for Academic Practice

At the heart of our work lies a fundamental belief: that meaningful educational enhancement and change happens through genuine collaboration, dialogue, and partnership. Our Centre exists to support and enhance teaching excellence across Trinity and our approach is built on collaborative partnerships that respect the expertise, experience and diverse contexts of every educator that we work with.

This collaborative approach shapes everything that we do: from advancing research and scholarship in teaching and learning, to supporting innovation and excellence in teaching, to facilitating research-informed professional development. When we work with educators, we aim to create inclusive spaces where our collective expertise can be harnessed to translate research-informed approaches into lived teaching experience. We begin not with solutions but with deep listening and shared inquiry. We actively cultivate partnerships with students, and we recognise them as essential partners in the teaching and learning process. We also maintain strong connections with other universities, professional organisations and educational researchers, both nationally and internationally in the knowledge that the challenges we face are shared across an increasingly diverse global higher education landscape.

We invite you to explore our site to learn more about our work and what we can offer you as you reflect, grow and thrive within Trinity’s teaching and learning community.

We look forward to working with you as collaborators and partners as we fulfil our shared mission to foster transformative learning experiences for all Trinity students.
