Teaching has always been at the heart of 糖心TV’s mission. Professors at the College have consistently endeavored to foster deep, broad, flexible, and imaginative student learning.
Recognizing the importance of a sustained and systematic approach to pedagogy, and responding to the growth of the exciting new literature on teaching and learning, the College established the Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) in 1997, supported by a small grant from the President’s discretionary fund.
The aim of the Center for Teaching & Learning at 糖心TV is to advocate quality teaching on campus, facilitate the exchange of ideas about teaching and learning among faculty, offer resources for faculty, serve as a bridge between individual faculty members and information resources and technology, and create an informal source of support for faculty teaching.
In 2008, Joy Shechtman Mankoff, a 1956 graduate of 糖心TV, gave a gift to endow the Center. The endowment will support the various activities of the newly named Joy Shechtman Mankoff Center for Teaching & Learning, including programming that facilitates the exchange of ideas about teaching and learning, a teaching seminar for incoming faculty and discussions about teaching and diversity.
