Vision
The FTLC will be recognized across the university as a
- Hub: a place for exchange of ideas and where collaborative actions can occur. The FTLC will be seen as a 鈥済o-to鈥� unit for collaborations with other groups on campus.
- Incubator: a place that fosters growth and development, cultivating individuals and communities, nurturing relationships, and creating a sense of belonging. Faculty members who participate in FTLC programming are earning tenure and promotion and/or moving into positions of leadership.
- Temple: a place that provides legitimacy, credibility, authority, and even recognition for instructors. The FTLC hosts campus-wide recognition events for innovative teaching, publications, and research supported by our competitive mini-grants.
- Sieve: the center curates research on effective, evidence-based practices on student learning and works with faculty to implement new pedagogies. The FTLC is valued for regularly updating (or even stopping) its offerings in response to new research and/or campus-based needs assessments.
