Recognition of Achievement

Faculty posing with their Recognition CertificatesCETAL 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.
