Welcome from the AVP for Teaching and Learning
On behalf of our faculty, staff, and fellows, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Oregon State University’s Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). The CTL provides research-informed guidance and resources to all instructors across all OSU campuses: we serve full-time, part-time, graduate student, and faculty instructors across all ranks and disciplines. Our team at CTL collaborates with instructors and units across campus to support engaged and meaningful learning experiences for OSU students.
Keeping a focus on quality teaching and student success are central to our values in CTL. Our programs, services, and fellowships provide pathways to enhancing student success through incorporating high-impact practices (HIPs), inclusive pedagogies, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), and many other methods. We invite you to peruse our website to learn about ways you can get involved with CTL’s programming through workshops, sparkshops, book clubs, consultations, and more.
OSU’s CTL is ready to support you in quality teaching, whether you are experimenting with a new pedagogy, seeking guidance on best practices, or looking for instructional feedback. Our pedagogy experts in CTL look forward to collaborating with you!
