The primary goal of the CTL is to support part-time and full-time faculty members in improving their teaching practices, promoting effective learning experiences for students, and fostering a culture of continuous learning across Columbia State by providing resources, training, and guidance on current pedagogical approaches and technologies.
We have many resources for faculty members on our virtual site here, but we will also have resources and trainings available in our physical space on the Columbia Campus in Warf 107. Contact Dr. Amy McDonald if you would like to schedule or suggest an event.
We'd love to hear what resources and trainings would best help you in your teaching practice. Please fill out the survey at the bottom of the page and let us know what you need!
