The Alliant Center for Teaching Excellence is sponsored by the Provost’s Office, and its resources are available to all core and adjunct faculty, staff, and students. Its goals are to provide an online collection of resources, a monthly newsletter, webinars and faculty groups, and access to voluntary confidential individual consultations.
The mission of the Center is to promote teaching that is inclusive, student-centered, and evidence-based. It promotes excellence and innovation in teaching in order to enhance student learning. The Center encourages ongoing professional development and faculty collaboration on best practices and works to nurture and sustain a university culture that values and rewards teaching.
