Iowa State University - Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching

In 1993, the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching was borne out of a collaborative idea of the Faculty Senate and the Senior Vice President and Provost Office to “support our faculty in ways that help them become better, more effective teachers.” While Iowa State University takes great pride in its research mission and commitment as a doctoral-granting research extensive university, we are equally proud of how teaching is at the core of our educational experience. Indeed, the bedrock of a world-class research university is its commitment to enhancing learning in the community of scholars. Mission "Partnering with educators to advance student-centered learning." We provide evidence-based opportunities to: • Promote, enhance, and recognize teaching excellence. • Expand access to online educational experiences. • Effectively use learning technologies across modalities. • Develop the scholarship of teaching and learning. Our vision is to position Iowa State University at the forefront of learning and teaching among land-grant universities. CELT is located at 2624 Howe Hall.
