 What the community is saying about CTL

  The Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) has been an invaluable resource in my professional journey. From being able to help my students in putting together professional portfolios via Buffs Create to participating in the AI Summer Design Studio to sharing and learning through the mentor program, CTL offers invaluable training and social opportunities of all kinds.” 
–Lori Poole, assistant teaching professor, communication

  I am so glad that ASSETT exists and that we now have a CTL! Thank you for all the wonderful and hard work you do to help us all become better educators and to continually strive to create communities of practice! I truly am amazed by all you do and grateful to have you on campus! Thank you!” 
–Leilani Arthurs, associate professor, geology

  CTL is a vital resource for improving teaching and the classroom culture. It has filled a void at our university that was much needed. As an R1 research institution, teaching falls to the wayside. CTL brings teaching and the classroom into central focus, which is what supports our success in research.” 
–Teresa Wroe, assistant vice chancellor of prevention and deputy Title IX coordinator, Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance

  I have a greater sense of belonging through the connections I have made at the CTL. I know I have resources (and mentors) at the CTL that I can turn to, and I have made friends through participation in book clubs that carried over into other semesters and as we see each other on campus.” 
–Kim Jackson, PhD candidate, HIST, participant fall 2019–spring 2024

  CTL/ASSETT’s programming is some of the most impactful I’ve experienced as both a graduate student and faculty member at CU Boulder. The opportunity to connect with other individuals from across campus (who often come from totally different disciplinary backgrounds than me) and to work to develop my teaching has had a huge impact on my career choices and ultimately life.” 
–Anthony Pinter, assistant teaching professor, ATLAS

  I would say that going to CTL/ASSETT events helps to keep you thinking about evidence-based practice and experimenting with how to make your teaching better—how to engage with new technology and new ideas about best practices in the classroom in a way that helps you to improve what you do.” 
–Nicole Jobin, teaching professor, A&S RAPs
