CETAL has developed a Recognition of Achievement Program to acknowledge faculty who engage in a series of experiences to strengthen their teaching effectiveness. The goals for this program are to guide faculty members through a structured professional development process, encourage intentionality and growth in teaching effectiveness, and provide a campus-wide distinction of commitment to teaching excellence.
Recognition by the Office of the Provost and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Academic Leadership happens in April each year.
Program Guidelines:
