CTL Preamble
The Latin phrase, illustrated on the seal of Central Washington University, Docendo Discimus, By Teaching We Learn, is the cornerstone of the University's historical purpose, which also promotes its distinctiveness. The Center for Teaching and Learning is the place where Docendo Discimus is emphasized, and teaching as a means of facilitating learning is closely examined and practiced. Central Washington University began preparing teachers for the State of Washington in1890, and since that time has added school administration, counseling, and psychology to its program offerings, making CWU the largest university in the State for preparing p-12 school personnel. The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) was created in 1991, to recognize the collaborative efforts of the College of Arts and Humanities, the College of Education and Professional Studies, and the College of the Sciences in preparing professional educators. The Center's mission is to Prepare Facilitators of Learning in a Diverse World. To accomplish this mission, the Center brings together school teachers, administrators, counselors, and psychologists from around the State, with university faculty representing the three colleges mentioned above; thereby establishing a professional community, which reaches all corners of the Central Washington University, and out to the real world of schooling. Representatives of this professional education community merge under the aegis of the Center: to design, deliver, and renew candidate admission, recruitment and retention policies and procedures; to design and review program and curriculum outcomes, and standards; to assess, as an aggregate, candidate knowledge, skills and dispositions; and to evaluate the Center's efficacy for the purpose of maintaining an excellent national accreditation status. Please find below a revised governance structure, which is proposed to further evolve the Center's efficacy in achieving its mission.
