As part of his commitment to student success, the provost has convened a committee charged with developing a听recommendation for听considering a campuswide center for teaching and learning. The provost has asked this committee to present him with a recommendation by听March 31, 2017, and that it include the following:
- Identify existing units concerned with teaching and learning,听
- Consider the role of baby直播app governance and听the organizational structure for a campus-wide unit,
- Articulate obstacles to this task, such as space utilization and staff support,
- Write a vision statement to guide such a center, its mission and purpose,
- Define an initial set of action steps to put the center in place and
- Consider the campus鈥櫶齝ommitment to inclusive excellence and design clear guidelines for inclusive pedagogy.
The charge represents an opportunity. At this time the committee is just beginning its work. As the committee proceeds, it will develop subgroups to include a broader constituency and a communication plan.
