Since 1987, the Center for School Change: Excellence in Teaching and Professional Development has provided for the continued growth and professional development of faculty by offering a variety of instructional support programs designed to promote teaching excellence and enhance instructional leadership.

Faculty members may request support services that include: instructional observations, pre-post visit consultations, reviews of course syllabi, yearly mini-grant research competition and conference travel support. Group workshops on various topics related to teaching and professional development are offered each semester. Topics range from teaching/teaming/learning concerns to academic leadership discussions. The Center also offers study support grants to selected faculty seeking a terminal degree or task-related cross training.
