The Mission of the CTLA
The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment cultivates communities of inquiry and practice to promote excellent teaching, learning, and scholarship in the liberal arts. We nurture the learning environment of Grinnell College by fostering conversation and reflection at the intersection of pedagogy, the scholarship of teaching and learning, instructional design, and academic technologies. We advance practices of teaching and learning that are accessible, inclusive, and grounded in the best available evidence.

Faculty and staff are cordially invited to join us for the next Community Friday on Feb. 20. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is the leading national association representing the interests of fall those engaged in teaching and research in higher education. The AAUP’s goals are working toward the protection of academic freedom and shared governance, defining professional standards and policies, advocating for their fair remuneration, and organizing our community to achieve these goals. Our newly formed Grinnell chapter seeks to contribute to these national efforts while advocating for our members here at Grinnell.
This event will be facilitated by Adey Almohsen, John Petrus, Sharon Quinsaat, and potentially other AAUP members on campus. Come meet us, learn about our organization, and let’s think together how we can best advocate for our community at Grinnell College.
The lunch buffet will open at 11:45 a.m. Thank you for bringing your reusable flatware to cut down on plastic waste. The spring Community Friday schedule is available on the CLTA website at Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment.
