The Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence

Our Mission

The Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence at Southwest Tennessee Community College is committed: to provide engaging faculty development, to enhance instructional design technology, to extend faculty outreach and support, and to develop and support distance education. The CTLE promotes professional learning and high-impact instructional practices to ensure academic success of all Southwest students.

Guiding Principals:

  • Faculty, staff, and administrators are student-ready, which means our institutional structures and culture are all developed with the student in mind. This means our classes are sensitive to the many diverse student backgrounds and experiences.
  • Classroom expectations, resources for student support, and access to that support are all transparently available to students and clearly communicated by faculty, staff, and administrators.
  • All students have a safe place in the classroom and across our campuses and instructional sites to learn and succeed regardless of academic and socioeconomic preparation.
  • The faculty is familiar with the social and cultural developments that shape the lived experience of the students of Southwest.
