We promote the professional formation of all faculty through a scholarly and interdisciplinary approach to learning and teaching, research practice, and professional development.
CETL's work with faculty is
FORMATIVE - CETL’s role is to support faculty in thinking about their teaching and their students’ learning. We offer suggestions and ideas. CETL is completely separate from any summative (judgment-based) evaluation and is never involved in Rank and Tenure (R&T) or hiring/re-hiring decisions. We do not write letters of recommendation for R&T files or for Chairs.
CONFIDENTIAL - Our conversations with faculty—even who we work with—remain confidential within CETL. Occasionally CETL staff discuss these consultations among themselves to be able to track trends in teaching-related issues or to brainstorm good advice or resources to offer faculty. One exception to our policy: By law, we are required to report any harassment or threat of physical harm to oneself or others.
VOLUNTARY - Faculty come to CETL because they want to, not because they are under duress. If a colleague “strongly suggests” that someone consult with CETL, that person is under no obligation to do so (by agreement with the Provost’s Office). Because all our consultations are confidential, we will not divulge—to department chairs, deans, or the provost—who has worked with us.
