Advancing Teaching and the Professional Growth of Faculty at WPI
Teaching in WPI’s innovative project-based curriculum––and within our distinctive calendar and balance between teaching and research––is deeply rewarding, challenging, and motivating, through all stages of a faculty career. The Morgan Teaching and Learning Center maintains and strengthens instructional effectiveness, student learning, and faculty learning by offering evidence-based training and development programs, services, and resources for faculty, staff educators, and for student teaching assistants. The Center also catalyzes innovation in the curriculum and in teaching practice and brings together campus-wide communities for reflection, dialogue, and action on teaching and student learning.
The Center’s principle objectives are to:
-
build the teaching knowledge and skills of all instructors in order to promote continual individual growth in teaching effectiveness and enhancement of student learning;
-
support teaching and learning innovations in areas aligned with WPI's goals;
The Morgan Center also coordinates campus-wide mentorship and faculty development programming for new faculty and for faculty at the Associate rank.
Throughout its work, the Center aims to advance WPI’s mission and live its values of community, inclusion, respect, innovation, and achievement.
