Mission

The mission of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning is to promote the practice and profession of teaching at Park University.

We seek to support all faculty in sharing best practices, achieving greater innovation in curriculum and method, and pursuing their scholarly research and publishing goals.

Vision

Park University will be a renowned international leader in providing innovative educational opportunities for learners within the global society.

To support this vision of the University, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning will foster an integrated faculty community characterized by a commitment to continued professional growth.

Goals

In 2004, the University created the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning to further realize its mission of providing "access to academic excellence".

Organizationally housed within the Office of Academic Affairs, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning provides University-wide resources to faculty and creates opportunities for reflection, dialogue and exchange of best practices.  CETL is a faculty resource, driven by faculty-identified professional development needs, interests, and goals. All CETL programming relates to the four goals listed below and is offered as optional professional enhancement for faculty who wish to advance their teaching practice. 

CETL Goals:

•  Connect faculty with resources to enhance academic excellence.

1. Promote a culture of reflective teaching practice to stimulate instructional innovation.
2. Create opportunities for cross-disciplinary faculty collaboration and exchange.
3. Recognize and reward faculty contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning.
