Mission
The Center for Teaching Excellence supports the culture of learner-centered teaching at Columbia College Chicago by challenging all faculty to become more informed, confident, creative, and reflective teachers. As an integral unit of Academic Affairs since 1999, the CTE promotes teaching and learning as active and engaged pursuits and fosters excellence by providing the space and opportunity for innovation, collaboration, and experimentation.
We value:
TEACHING that respects students' voices and contributions.
LEARNING as a lifelong process.
COLLABORATION in the college and throughout the community.
CREATIVITY enriched by conversation and reflection.
CHANGE through civic discourse and inventive solutions.
