Community for Innovation in Teaching and Education (CITE)

The Community for Innovation in Teaching and Education (CITE) is a collaborative community of educators focusing upon bringing creative, innovative and future-focused approaches to address the University Education Strategic Objectives.

Established in 2023, CITE brings together academics, professional and technical support staff, and students from across the University, working together to place education at the heart of the University’s activities, celebrating excellence and success, sharing best practice and innovation.

Our activity is led by Learning Circles whose focus is upon co-generating and articulating Northumbria’s distinctive authentic and experiential pedagogy.  We seek to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion though our practices as a research-intensive university in the North East of England, with a high proportion of regionally-based widening participation students, as well as students from overseas.

CITE meets twice each semester to develop the work of Learning Circles, and support Northumbria’s funded Enhancement Projects, inviting external speakers, and leading Northumbria’s annual Celebration of Education.
