Founded in August 2023, the Bingham Center for Teaching Excellence serves as a catalyst for evidence-supported teaching practices and engaged learning at Transylvania University. The Center staff offers a variety of resources and opportunities for faculty to deepen and enhance their teaching practice.
Funded through the Bingham Trust, the Center supports faculty grants that advance teaching and the meaningful integration of technology that supports students' learning and future careers. The Center promotes professional development for faculty and teaching staff and fosters presentations and publications related to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL).Â
Practically every Friday during Fall, Winter, and May term, we send out an email newsletter that includes updates from the center, suggested readings, tech tips, and links to forthcoming pedagogical Calls For Papers/Presentations (CFPs). (Also, some memes!)
If you read or listen to anything that you want to share (including memes!), see a relevant CFP, have or want a tech tip, email bcte@transy.edu or jperino@transy.edu. We'll make sure that your recommendation gets a spot in the newsletter.
