任务

Supporting faculty participation in the initiatives of the University System of Georgia, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and 学习 (CETL) has a threefold mission: to advance pedagogical scholarship and professional development related to teaching, to support full-time and part-time faculty in innovative teaching, and to promote strong learning communities of faculty and students. The CETL serves experienced and new faculty looking to share and receive support in implementing best teaching practices, effective course designs, and strategies for inspiring and engaging today’s students. Faculty will have opportunities to engage in conversations addressing teaching and learning trends meeting the needs of 21st century students, even as the CETL assists faculty with navigating the latest topography of the rapidly shifting pedagogy of 高等教育. The center also facilitates high impact practices such as linking student learning communities and faculty learning communities. In its mission to enhance professional development related to teaching, the CETL amplifies the communication of the institution’s teaching initiatives while supporting faculty in the development and maintenance of their highest teaching standards, even as faculty members cultivate a student’s love for lifelong learning.
