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, implementation, and formulation. 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. | |
