The Institute for Excellence in Teaching & Learning takes pride in being at the nexus of teaching and learning, offering opportunities for faculty to collaborate, convene, learn from one another and share best practices.
Effective teaching is at the core of Boston University’s mission to nurture a vibrant student community characterized by an engaging student experience and faculty who are dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarly accomplishment.
In service of the broader BU academic community, and the faculty we serve, our goals are to:
Implement teaching and learning strategies and approaches that bring prominence and value to our faculty at BU, and drive growth, scale and relevance.
Expand and deepen teaching and learning educational opportunities for faculty from across the university at all ranks and levels of experience.
Provide opportunities to convene faculty across schools and colleges– to facilitate sharing of experiences and best practices, and to foster a true community of teaching and learning campus wide.
Elevate and enhance teaching and learning support and engagement for a diverse student body, and their goals and aspirations.
Promote and steer innovations in teaching and learning that catalyze advancements in practice and in the field.
As the teaching and learning landscape evolves, our approach is to draw upon the experiences and innovations of our faculty, open opportunities for dialogue and discussion, inform discussions with current pedagogical thinking and application and provide the resources and skills necessary for all faculty to succeed.
