ABOUT the Center for Teaching and Learning

Vision: 

The Center for Teaching and Learning at Lane Community College embraces, advances, and celebrates a vibrant culture of teaching and learning in which faculty and partners grow professionally through collaboration, inquiry, scholarship, innovation, experimentation, and reflection. Engaging the collective expertise of Lane faculty and colleagues around the globe, our goal is to foster dynamic, inclusive, and socially just educational experiences and environments. 

Mission: 

The mission of the Center for Teaching and Learning is to serve as a physical and communicative hub for campus programs, individual faculty, faculty groups, and collaborators who work in support of a culture of teaching and learning as defined in the vision. 

The Center for Teaching and Learning will: 

1. Facilitate communication and coordination amongst campus programs that support a culture of teaching and learning at Lane through events, programming, and opportunities for faculty;

2. Provide a space for collaboration amongst campus organizations and faculty across campus to assess faculty needs and to encourage faculty participation in teaching and learning activities and planning;

3. Provide a central, visible location for teaching and learning events and activities; 

4. Promote highly visible, accessible communication out to faculty about events and opportunities (email, calendar, newsletter, website); and

5. Host events to highlight and celebrate faculty work/learning in relation to teaching and learning (e.g., Faculty Inquiry Group findings, reports from workshops/ conferences/ presentations, classroom research projects reports, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning reports, assessment projects, Academic Program Review reports, classroom innovations, etc.)
