The Center for Teaching & Learning supports CU’s community of educators through teaching consultations, seminars, reading groups, and additional services. 

Our work through the CTL aims to cultivate attitudes toward teaching that are open, curious, and innovative. Impactful teaching, we believe, is not innately produced but is learned, informed by continuous dialogue and collective knowledge. As a Center, we invite educators to an open, common space where all are welcome to explore teaching practices, pose questions, have brave conversations, take creative risks, and embrace intellectual humility.

  • Tenured & Tenure-Track Faculty

How We Got Here

Striving to become a student-centered campus is a primary motivation and central project of Academic Futures, as well as a key focus of Foundations of Excellence and the IDEA Plan. The CTL is one of the main project recommendations to achieve this goal.

 

Academic Futures

Establish a Teaching and Learning Center, a centralized community space, dedicated to teaching and learning that transforms our teachers and students and is instrumental in solidifying innovative, research-based teaching practices as a cornerstone of the university.

—Academic Futures Report

IDEA Plan

The new Center for Teaching & Learning, with a firm commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as a core mission, will hopefully provide support for the broader comprehensive campus response to needed professional development regarding diversity and inclusion.

—IDEA Plan Report

Foundations of Excellence

The Campus establish a Center for Teaching, Learning, and Outcomes Assessment (CTLO) to broker the relationships between the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Office of Data Analytics, Infrastructure and Sustainability, and the Office of Undergraduate Education.

—Foundations of Excellence Report

Our Legacy

The CTL continues and extends the work of the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program and the Graduate Teacher Program.

Graduate Teacher Program

From 1984 to 2020, the Graduate Teacher Program (GTP) provided professional development opportunities for all graduate students from all colleges based on students' teaching, research and service responsibilities, and on career goals.
