The Center for Teaching Tips, Provost’s Teaching Fellows

Faculty members can spend years searching for what works best in the classroom, but a much faster route to that knowledge is through the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Dr. Karen Huxtable-Jester, director, and Dr. Salena Brody and Dr. Carol Cirulli Lanham, associate directors (from left in photos above), are dedicated to sharing ideas and information. And now they have three new assistants with the advent of the Provost’s Teaching Fellows. This series of stories will explore what the CTL is doing and what faculty say about its value.
