  • Research-based study that fosters academic engagement, learning, and success for all students;
  • Support the development of experiential learning opportunities for students.

Comprehensive Mentoring:

  • The CTLA will promote a culture of innovative teaching, active involvement, and scholarly pursuits by using a comprehensive approach to mentoring faculty, from faculty arrival and throughout their career at CC;
  • Cohort luncheons, portfolio development workshops, roundtable discussions, and one- on-one consultations; CTLA will support faculty in an ongoing, flexible manner that is responsive to individual needs.

Community & Collaboration:

  • CTLA values interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty and seeks to further the mission through a variety of events that foster communication and a sense of community;
  • Monthly/semester faculty seminars and a yearly Faculty Appreciation Week, CTLA will provide institutional and informal opportunities for faculty to learn from one another.
