To promote, encourage and support professional development opportunities for faculty through collaboration, feedback, and dedicated resources.

The main focus of the CTLA is to support student learning. We contribute to the success of student learning by utilizing assessment results and other resources to assist faculty in course and teaching development. The CTLA integrates university-wide use of assessment techniques (coordinated through the University Assessment Committee) and teaching and learning resources (coordinated through the CTL Advisory Group).

The CTLA attempts to take into account both faculty needs as instructors and student needs as learners. The resources we offer are tailored to meet both sets of needs, primarily through faculty development opportunities and materials. We offer resources for individual faculty members as well as group workshops and seminars. Our bi-monthly newsletter, the CTLA Update, keeps faculty informed of current initiatives and opportunities.
