The overarching goal of the PCN is to provide faculty and staff a means by which they can develop their own teaching practices, which, when considered collectively, will enhance teaching practices across all academic units at the University of Windsor.

It is also hoped that teachers will benefit from their participation in the network by being able to demonstrate their effectiveness and dedication to teaching in a more sophisticated way than currently available through student evaluations of teaching alone. It is expected that improved teaching practices will provide students with enhanced learning experiences.
