Center for Excellence in Inclusive Teaching and Learning
The Center for Excellence in Inclusive Teaching & Learning (CEITL) supports the pursuit of inclusive teaching excellence by
- promoting reflection and conversation about teaching and learning;
- offering evidence-based resources and professional development opportunities;
- creating opportunities for community and collaborative engagement on shared interests and challenges;
- fostering a culture of inclusive practice so that all students, faculty, and staff feel that they belong and thrive at Parkside.
CEITL believes in the value of community and collaboration. We do not seek to impose a single pedagogical approach on the university’s instructors, but rather celebrate and learn from the rich diversity of instructional styles practiced on our campus.
