The Center for Teaching and Learning, formerly the Center for Faculty Development, was inaugurated under its new title in Fall 1999. The Center reports to the Provost, Academic Affairs, Dr. Sam Wiley. The purpose of the Center is ultimately to provide CSUDH faculty with services and resources to support faculty in their work to develop and enhance the pedagogical skills and knowledge that will foster our students' success. We aim to foster reflective practice in teaching and provide a meeting place for the learning community that is our faculty.

The Center is built upon the hard work of many faculty spanning the 40 years of our history, taking many forms over the years.  Recent past Directors have included:  Dr. Lisa Gray-Shellberg, Dr. Mary Lou Cappel, Dr. James Cooper, Dr. Farah Fisher, Dr. Jamie Webb and Dr. Jennifer Franklin. 

The Center exists for faculty and, ultimately, our students.  Now in its sixth year, Center staff are working hard to consolidate the development of a multi-service center with the resources needed to sustain it into the future.  The Center's Comprehensive Faculty Development Program Plan is available for view on this web site.  We are faculty and staff in partnership with faculty. Feedback is always encouraged. To that end, we count on our Faculty Advisory Committee to provide guidance, and our Faculty Grant Reading Group to represent faculty in selecting winners of our grant competitions.
