We are delighted to welcome you to the Center for Effective Teaching and Learning, a place where you can join the exchange of ideas and information about professional development with other faculty members here at UTEP and in the region.  If you have not yet attended any of our workshops, seminars, or annual events, we hope that you will do so soon.  These events address a variety of issues relevant to faculty who wish to cultivate excellence in the classroom. 

The Center for Effective Teaching and Learning (CETaL) promotes excellence in teaching, improvement in student learning, support for the community of teachers at UTEP and in the region, and the scholarship of teaching. We value growth, professionalism and excellence. We strive to achieve them in our own professional lives and promote them in the practices of our faculty, graduate students and instructional staff. We work with UTEP's instructors at all ranks to develop teaching materials that clearly communicate to students how to succeed in their courses and to learn class material most effectively. UTEP faculty and instructors find support here for instructional  design, development, evaluation and scholarship of teaching.

We encourage you to become acquainted with our website. The Events, Services, and Resources pages offer practical support and suggestions to meet a wide range of needs, from designing your syllabus, to assessing your students’ learning, to assembling your teaching portfolio, and more.  If you are looking for proven ways to innovate in your classes, you will find a variety of information and ideas.

We invite you to contact us either to share your innovations or to learn from your colleagues.  Our role is to support and encourage you in this discussion.
