Center for Teaching Excellence

Mission: The Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) supports Western State College’s goal of academic excellence by enhancing the teaching and learning process through a wide range of services to all who teach at the college.

Purpose: The CTE provides faculty with professional development opportunities to enhance teaching at all stages of their career. The Center creates a dialogue on the Western State campus of teaching excellence. This dialogue aids new faculty in achieving the excellent teaching expected of all faculty and allows all faculty to explore pedagogical and curricular innovation on individual, departmental and institutional levels.

Goals:

  • Stimulate faculty discussion and continued education about issues critical to effective teaching and learning.
  • Support individual faculty efforts to enhance teaching and learning.
  • Provide opportunities for partnerships within and across disciplines.
  • Support integration of research/scholarship and teaching.
  • Support and recognize innovative teaching
  • Engage and support new faculty in developing effective pedagogy.
