An in-depth look at Centers for Teaching and Learning and their
profound impact on US higher education. Centers for Teaching and
Learning (CTLs) are important change agents on campus with
strategies that are unique and impactful—but sometimes
unarticulated or misaligned. In this wide-ranging book, Mary C.
Wright maps the landscape of 1,200+ CTLs in the United States
through a unique approach: by conducting complex web searches to
identify and categorize CTLs, then examining the wealth of
information that is available on these institutions' own websites.
The data she uncovers reveal important insights into CTLs'
strategies and operations and offer a fuller picture of the impact
these centers are making on US higher education as a whole. Drawing
from this web-based methodology, as well as interviews with CTL
leaders and staff, Wright provides a broad picture of educational
development in the United States and examines trends in what CTLs
aim to accomplish, key strategies for reaching these goals,
programs and services they offer, and their impacts on campuses.
She also explores new organizational mandates for CTLs, including
ones involving instructional technology and online learning,
assessment, writing, service learning and community engagement, and
career and leadership development. In response to increased
constituency sizes and expanding missions and mandates, she notes,
centers are also incorporating new faculty and student engagement
structures. Key chapters focus on goals and theories of change,
program types and exemplars, organizational structures, assessment
and evaluation practices, and emerging trends. Offering guidelines
for effective strategic leadership, Centers for Teaching and
Learning documents the growth of this important organizational unit
in US higher education and explains the role these centers play in
supporting operational needs, strategic aims, and organizational
change.
