The Center for Teaching & Learning serves as a catalyst for promoting a culture of pedagogical excellence at Marquette University.

Rooted in Ignatian pedagogy and the scholarship of teaching and learning, the Center for Teaching & Learning is committed to the professional development of the campus teaching community. We work with faculty to support sound pedagogical practice while respecting individual learning differences, and help all instructors create a learning environment where all teachers and learners can succeed and flourish.  Read more about our services offered...

CTL also offers 1:1 support for all faculty and Teaching Assistants to discuss any aspect of your teaching and goals. We treat every consultation as private, so please do reach out to us via email to set up an appointment.

This productive retreat is designed to provide intentional space for individual and collective reflection about students’ own current or future teaching practices (or both). It is also designed with practical outcomes in mind. Graduate students should leave this retreat equipped with practical knowledge about creating and using different teaching-related documents, like syllabi and teaching statements. Graduate students will have an opportunity to connect with their peers, faculty members, and teaching consultants from the Center for Teaching and Learning throughout the retreat.
