About CTE

CTE is dedicated to assisting the university in fulfilling its commitment undergraduate and graduate instruction. 

We work toward

• co-creating a campus culture in which f pedagogy is highly valued;
  prioritizing faculty community-building;
• providing high-quality professional development opportunities and resources;
• encouraging and facilitating improvement of course content and methods of instruction;
• advancing the scholarship of teaching and learning;
• leveraging faculty expertise to promote effective teaching;
• resourcing faculty for innovative projects and initiatives; and
• recognizing the importance of appreciation of efforts and celebration of teaching.

The primary responsibility for developing and improving educational programs resides with the faculty who, as teacher-scholars, possess both the knowledge of the disciplines and the skills to evaluate and implement effective instructional practices.

The mission of CTE is supportive, and participation by the faculty is voluntary. Interactions between CTE personnel and the faculty is confidential and separate from any formal assessment process of the university.
