The Faculty Collaborative for Teaching Innovation — a partnership among Faculty Development, Academic Technology, and Educational Assessment — works across program boundaries to support imaginative teaching. Teaching and learning resources are informed by new technologies, deliberate course design, reflective teaching practices, and meaningful assessment of student learning.
Beginning in Fall 2025, the Center for Teaching Excellence will be a hub of resources and support for SCU educators, including faculty, graduate students, and instructional staff. Under the leadership of the Associate Provost for Faculty Development and Center Director, we will unveil a center that showcases our distinctive pedagogical values, grounded in the Ignatian tradition and its commitment to transforming the world through teaching.
