Guiding Teaching Principles

Effective teaching centers on facilitating student learning to meet the requirements of a changing global economy.
Effective teaching is inspirational providing clear expectations for students regarding learning goals, course policies and assignments.
Effective teaching helps students understand how course content is relevant to them and their community throughout their lives, preparing students for enhanced career and educational opportunities.

Effective teaching encourages students to engage in critical thinking, reflective reasoning, problem-solving, collaboration and application.
Effective teaching fosters a collegial and dynamic process in which faculty share and learn strategies and approaches focused on improving student learning.
Effective teaching infuses a culture of assessment of student learning into the instructional environment to inform improvements in curriculum, pedagogy, resources and student success.
