The Mission of the CTLA
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment cultivates a community of inquiry and practice to promote excellent teaching, learning, and scholarship in the liberal arts. We nurture the learning environment of Grinnell College by fostering conversation and reflection at the intersection of pedagogy, the scholarship of teaching and learning, instructional design, and academic technologies. We advance practices of teaching and learning that are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in the best available evidence.
Summer 2024 Workshops
Summer workshops sponsored by the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CTLA) are a central component of faculty and staff professional development at Grinnell College. The purpose of these workshops is to provide opportunities for participants to improve teaching and learning by generating and sharing educational knowledge, discovering and practicing pedagogical competencies, and building peer connections and collaboration. Workshop topics will typically explore issues concerning curricular development, pedagogical strategies, and the broad environment of learning at the College.
A full schedule of workshops, including descriptions, leaders, times, and locations, is available on the Summer Workshops page of the site.
