Berea’s integrated Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), brings faculty, staff, and students together with each other and with trained faculty, staff, and student leaders to deepen their confidence, skills, perspectives, and insights as readers, writers, learners, and teachers.
Three threads intertwine at the heart of Berea’s integrated Center: 1) continued teaching-related professional development for faculty and staff professionals, 2) support for undergraduate TAs and tutors as they begin to professionalize, and 3) writing support for all students, staff, and faculty members at the College.
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and Hutchins Library form a powerful partnership that enhances learning experiences for all students, faculty, and staff at Berea College. The CTL brings faculty, staff, and students together with trained leaders to deepen their confidence, skills, perspectives, and insights as readers, writers, learners, and teachers. This collaboration creates seamless support for academic success, where students can receive research assistance from librarians while simultaneously developing their critical thinking and communication skills with CTL staff.
