WSSU, September 2009

 The Center for Excellence in Teaching and

Learning provides expertise, opportunity,
instruction, and scholarship to empower
WSSU faculty to be effective teachers. To
that end, CETL seeks to improve student
learning by means of enhancing teaching
competences and resources, through the
integration of education, information, and
communication technologies.
  CETL will be a strategic partner for faculty
professional development for each of WSSU
academic units. It will be recognized as an
academic organization able to empower
faculty in the scholarship of teaching, able
to lead, coach, or support educational
innovation initiatives that help to overcome
existing educational weaknesses and realize
educational technology opportunities.
