What We Do 

The Teaching + Learning Commons offers programs and services which create a contiguous, multi-layered network of support that jointly enhance learning and increase academic success.

The Commons: 

• advances teaching excellence and student academic success
• analyzes students’ academic success and assesses student and instructional success initiatives
• increases access to education on campus and beyond
• actively promotes equity and inclusion within the organization and through our programs, services, and hiring practices

To accomplish this, The Commons:

• translates student learning research findings into instructional and educational practices, services and programs, and assesses their efficacy and impact
• analyzes student success data, identifies opportunities for improving teaching and learning excellence, pinpoints unmet needs in student academic support, and monitors student and faculty success efforts
• translates university-wide education initiatives into actions; contributes to faculty-, department-, and division-driven initiatives, including those that are funded by extramural agencies
