| EBERLY CENTER FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE | ||||||
| The Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence, formerly the University Teaching Center, was established in 1982 | ||||||
| to organize and conduct programs to improve the quality of instruction at Carnegie Mellon. In recognition | ||||||
| of The Eberly Family Charitable Trust support, the Center was renamed in 1996. The Center helps both faculty | ||||||
| members and graduate students to improve teaching practices through introduction to theories of teaching | ||||||
| and learning, reflection, practice and feedback. | ||||||
| The Center for Teaching offers both public forums to discuss and explore issues related to teaching and learning | ||||||
| and private consultations on course design or redesign, implementation, and formative evaluation. Individual consultations are strictly confidential. | ||||||
| Whenever possible, the Center facilitates discussions of teaching and learning across departments and colleges both | ||||||
| to address common concerns and to help transfer and adapt promising strategies to a variety of contexts. The Center | ||||||
| aims to respond to the continually changing educational needs of the campus community. | ||||||
