Center for Teaching Excellence

The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) is dedicated to assisting the university in fulfilling its commitment to strengthening undergraduate and graduate instruction.

CTE recognizes that excellence in teaching is achieved through teaching scholarship, which involves:

  • Knowledge of educational theory, models, approaches and practices
  • Investigation of the relationship between teaching methods and student learning
  • Professional growth from engaging in the teaching and learning process

CTE is located in UNCW Library 2038

Feel free to drop in to say hello, send a Note of Celebration to a colleague, and treat yourself from the CTE candy bar!
