Center for Teaching Excellence

Support and Training for Residential and Online Faculty

The Center for Teaching Excellence serves as the central location for new and veteran faculty development and training, mentoring, and the dissemination of information that promotes faculty excellence in the areas of pedagogy, technology, university initiatives, and professionalism.

We provide large-scale faculty events and orientations, drop-in support, asynchronous and synchronous trainings, and workshops. CTE also offers academic conferences, boot camps, webinars, teaching academies, book studies, and interdisciplinary communities of practice to residential and online Liberty University faculty and academic support staff.
