The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers a customized process to enable individual instructors and departments, schools, and colleges to study their own teaching as a means to improve student learning.
Individuals
Recognizing that the route to excellent teaching is often very individualized, CTL offers instructors a confidential consultation process. Instructors may choose from a highly-targeted, short-term consultation that addresses specific teaching goals, or a more comprehensive overall assessment. A CTL consultant and the instructor determine teaching goals, identify what is going well in the classroom and what might merit attention, and develop strategies for making needed changes. All options are supplemented by CTL’s extensive library of monographs and articles on pedagogy.
In addition, CTL consultants offer the following teaching assessment options for individual instructors:

Departmental Consultations
In addition to offering individual consultations for instructors, CTL works with departments, schools, and colleges to develop group consultation sessions tailored to the unique needs of the various teaching communities on campus. Sessions often address:
- Issues of classroom teaching
- TA training and supervision
- Course and curriculum design
- Student differences
- Other teaching and learning topics.
