The CTEDL offers a unique venue for faculty, particularly in a career university setting, to discuss those issues pertinent to education, teaching, and learning and reflect by asking ourselves:

• What makes a good teacher?

• What is good teaching about?

• Is it about passion for teaching as much as it is about reason?

• As faculty members do we measure our performance in terms of what we do in class or what we "produce" in educational results from these classes?

Good Teacher Workshops define what we as faculty characterize as good and poor teachers. Faculty examine their educational experiences and define what good teachers do in the classroom that enhances student learning. Good teachers ask the questions:

What do I know about how we learn?

How do I prepare to teach?

What do I expect of my students?

How do I conduct my classes?
