TLC Mission Statement
The Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is devoted to the support of teaching and learning in the academic community. The goal of the TLC is to encourage sharing and valuing of teaching and learning by all members of the University of Wisconsin-Stout community.
In addition, the TLC will work to create a climate in which colleagues find satisfaction in teaching and learning, enhance confidence about the effectiveness of teaching, and share effective learning practices.
In order to fulfill its mission, TLC pursues the following courses of action:
- Initiate programs and actions that promote student learning as the focus of teaching.
- Develop communities, large or small, through programs that assist individuals and groups with issues of teaching and learning.
- Collaborate with other campus groups to maintain and expand discourse and reflection on teaching within the university community.
- Support individuals and groups with issues of teaching and learning.
- Create opportunities to celebrate teaching and learning.
- Promote activities that increase faculty satisfaction and confidence about the effectiveness of their teaching/learning strategies.
- Provide resources about teaching either on a web site or through individual contact, including mentoring and consulting.
- Seek external funding to provide support for excellence and innovation in teaching.
