Get to Know CETL

TCNJ's Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning fosters a dynamic and transformative educational experience by providing resources, opportunities, and strategies that support the teacher-scholar model and enhance student-centered learning in the classroom and beyond. We offer a plethora of support opportunities for instructors. Adjunct faculty are welcome and encouraged to participate in CETL initiatives and programming.

Regularly Scheduled Workshops

CETL regularly offers workshops, seminars, and events on current pedagogical trends and teaching tools. You can find all these events on the CETL events calendar. In addition to these offerings, CETL, in partnership with Academic Affairs and the Teaching and Learning Council (TLC), hosts the annual Excellence in Teaching and Learning Summit. The Summit, usually hosted in February, provides opportunities for all TCNJ faculty members and instructional staff to explore and share pedagogical strategies being implemented by colleagues across the campus community. No day classes are scheduled as faculty and staff gather together on campus and learn from each other.

Consultations

The Center for Excellence Teaching and Learning offers one-on-one and group consultations with faculty to assist in course design, curriculum, and teaching best practices.
