CELT: Iowa State University Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching

g at ISU. CELT provides resources for instructors, faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdocs interested in teaching. We offer face-to-face one-off workshops, longer-term teaching and learning circles on selected topics, and the facilitation of teaching and learning communities. We have also developed a rich set of online resources supporting CELT’s mission and current initiatives on our website. Our programs support those teaching across the arc of their professional careers. Some programs assist new instructors, including term and tenure-track faculty members, to establish their teaching program and focus on effectiveness. Other programs assist instructors in developing or refining a course to implement a different teaching approach. And yet other programs help faculty transform scholarly teaching into the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) research projects. We collaborate with on-campus resources, including college instructional support units and other centrally supported units such as the Dean of Students Office, Multicultural Student Affairs Office, Learning Communities, and the Academic Success Center. We work to leverage existing resources and help faculty make these essential connections across campus.
