What is the Center for the Enhancement of Learning, Teaching, and University Assessment (CELTUA)?

CELTUA is a community where:

  • We support long-term and short-term communities for faculty growth and inquiry (e.g., FLCs, FLINGs, workshops/seminars);

  • We support innovative teaching through projects, grants and awards (e.g., Top 25 project, grants, Knox award);

  • We bring to Miami the best of the scholarship of teaching and learning (e.g., Lilly Conference on College Teaching, Journal on Excellence in College Teaching);

  • We support departments and programs in their work to assess their effectiveness as educators in their discipline;

  • We work with other programs to enhance and celebrate teaching and learning at Miami.

Our mission is to embody and promote engagement with scholarly and reflective teaching practices to support the intellectual development of faculty and students as members of a diverse community.

What are people saying?

"Through the development of my focus course, which is about language teaching, I have had the opportunity to reflect on my own work. As I said above, the most important aspect for me has been the time and the room given to reflect on how I teach, my strategies, my mistakes and successes, and how others struggle with the same issues as I do. It has given me self-confidence in this respect, since I can see that other teachers in other disciplines care about the same issues I do, and at the same time, it has given me a clearer awareness of practical changes I need to implement in order to modify certain areas I need to work on. One of them is global planning and global organization. I am well-organized on a daily basis, but I still have trouble visualizing my courses in a more global manner, with a more global set of goals and objectives. Detailed development of the focus course has helped me with this aspect."
