About Us

Vision and Mission

The vision of the Center for Teaching and Learning is for all faculty to feel part of a community of scholarly, reflective teachers, using evidence-based, inclusive pedagogy to foster deep learning for all students.

The mission of the Center for Teaching and Learning is to support student success by engaging SDSU instructors (faculty and academic student employees) in a scholarly approach to teaching and fostering a culture of inclusive excellence in teaching and learning.

We collaborate closely with other units across campus, including Instructional Technology Services, Library and Information Services, Faculty Advancement and the Division of Student Affairs and play a key role in improving university polices related to teaching and student success by working with the University Senate, Faculty Affairs Committee and the Office of Faculty Advancement.
