Center for Teaching Excellence

Website: www.iup.edu/teachingexcellence

The mission of the Center for Teaching Excellence is to foster the enhancement of teaching excellence in all its forms. The center offers many professional development opportunities to the campus community related to teaching and pedagogy. The center recognizes excellence in teaching through selection and presentation of the annual Faculty Recognition Awards. The center’s Reflective Practice Project promotes effective teaching through the use of workshops, monthly meetings, and small “teaching circles.” New Faculty Orientation, offered by the center, introduces new faculty members to the university and community and explores topics such as teaching, advising, and assessment. Current relevant and research-based teaching resources are available on the center’s website. Faculty members are invited and encouraged to utilize the center resources to enhance student engagement in the learning process.
