What TLC does:

The Committee’s charge is to support faculty development in learning-centered teaching in the following ways:

  • Collaborate with the Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Equity and Inclusion as well as other campus groups to support teaching and learning at the College.  This may include surveying the faculty to ascertain teaching needs, interests, and concerns; sponsoring visiting speakers who bring expertise in some area of teaching and learning; or developing and promoting new programs designed to enhance learning-centered teaching.
  • Encourage the College to support, acknowledge, and value the scholarship of teaching and learning in Faculty Development proposals, in retention, tenure and promotion files, and in leave proposals.
  • Examine curricular and course structures in light of teaching and learning issues and create pedagogical and course design initiatives to enhance teaching development and student learning.
  • Act as the planning committee for the fall Teaching and Learning Symposium or Colloquium, the purpose of which is to launch each academic year with a half-day devoted to dimensions of teaching and learning informed by recent scholarship and practice.
  • Supervise the Teaching and Learning website of the College.
