Center for 教学 and 学习

The Center for 教学 and 学习 (CTL) is tasked with providing support to faculty in the development of all aspects of teaching at Centre College. The CTL specifically focuses on supporting faculty in their work as teachers and the campus’ educational mission to advance student learning through innovative and evidence-based teaching.

How We Fulfill Our Mission 

  • Promote faculty growth and renewal during all stages of one’s career. 
  • Support the adoption and sharing of innovative and effective pedagogical studies and practices. 
  • Encourage research and scholarly conversation related to teaching and learning practices. 
  • Provide instructional technology support and mentorship to faculty, 工作人员, and students in one-on-one and group settings. 
  • Collaborate with people and programs on Centre’s campus and beyond to support the advancement of teaching and learning initiatives and research. 

机会

Part of CTL’s mission is to support faculty growth and renewal at all career stages. We offer a number of faculty development funding opportunities to support course development, pedagogical experimentation and innovation, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. We also love to highlight the achievements and expertise of our outstanding faculty, and to inspire faculty to share their successes with us.

The Center for 教学 and 学习 is pleased to announce a call for applications for one 教师 Fellow position for the 2023 Spring term. This is a pilot program to test the interest and institutional capacity to offer this professional development opportunity at Centre.

Modeled after our previous versions, these fellowships are intended to encourage faculty exploration, 研究, and sharing of pedagogical approaches; advance our understanding and implementation of new and innovative pedagogies; and highlight the teaching excellence of Centre College faculty members. This spring our focus is on topics that might map onto Centre’s strategic plan priorities of community wellness and/or experiential learning.

和过去一样, these fellowships are an opportunity to explore questions of interest or to learn more about wellness and wellbeing and/or experiential learning. One does not need to already be an expert in these pedagogies to apply. The Fellows will facilitate campus discussion related to their project topics throughout the spring term by organizing seminars or workshops, facilitating learning communities, 主持演讲嘉宾, or other means of intentionally and broadly engaging colleagues.

The Spring 2023 教师 Fellow will receive one course release (1 course or 3 credit hours total). In addition, a total of $4,000 will be made available to support the activities of the fellow. The funds are to support: hosting events, such as seminars or guest speakers, on campus; conference travel to present project results; and miscellaneous expenses.

All full-time faculty who have earned tenure and demonstrated commitment to student learning are encouraged to apply.

We are no longer accepting proposals for Spring 2023.  Future offerings of this program may be possible.  请联系 尼莎古普塔 了解更多信息.
