CTE Mission

The CTE supports Xavier faculty in creating inclusive, collaborative learning environments that challenge our students intellectually, morally, and spiritually to become engaged scholars and citizens. The Center promotes effective teaching that is reflective, engaging, creative, and informed by both pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge.

In supporting this mission, the CTE:

• reinforces the culture of teaching and learning as central to Xavier's mission;
• cultivates environments and relationships to build networks and communities of learning and scholarship;
• provides programs and resources designed to promote pedagogical methods informed by research on teaching and learning;
• inspires faculty to reflect on their work as well as to share and learn from the experience, diversity, and expertise of their colleagues.
