The Center for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching and Learning has a new blog

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning has a new blog. According to Anniqua Rana, one of three faculty coordinators for CEITL, the blog is designed to keep faculty up-to-date on the latest professional development opportunities.

CIETL is dedicated to innovation and excellence, initiated by the Vice President of Instruction (and validated and supported by the administration), as an institutionalized place for directed focus on issues of teaching and learning. The center is committed to the college’s core mission of helping students move successfully through their academic plan, including basic skills, transfer, and career/technical education courses. CIETL does this by piloting, evaluating, and supporting innovative teaching and learning practices that encourage collaboration and community building and increase the retention, success, and persistence rates of our students. CIETL promotes sharing of this scholarship of teaching and learning among faculty here and elsewhere.

Current blog entries include a description of the workshops offered this fall by the San Mateo County Genealogical Society; a review of the recently completed orientation sessions for new faculty hires; and a preview of upcoming instructional design and technology workshops.
