CTL Home

The Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) supports student success and teaching excellence by cultivating a welcoming educational community dedicated to innovative, student-centered teaching across locations and modalities. We host a variety of resources to meet your teaching needs, from access to Instructional Designers, a professional development lending library, hosting book clubs and giveaways, facilitating just-in-time workshops, and connecting you with resources throughout the system and beyond!

We regularly work on building this site to bring you the best resources and most relevant content to meet your needs.

Our Mission

The mission of the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Maine at Presque Isle is to support, promote, and enhance effective practices in teaching and learning that mutually benefit faculty, students, and the PK-16 community.

To accomplish our mission, the CTL provides consultation, tools, resources, and professional development offerings to:

• Grow and sustain a culture of commitment to excellence in teaching, learning, reflection, and continuous improvement.
• Provide university-wide leadership and coordination of activities aimed at supporting excellence in teaching.
• Promote a suite of research-based best teaching practices focused on a PK-16 continuum in Proficiency-Based Education, known as UMPI’s Academic Commitments.
• Provide direct support to instructors in course design and pedagogical development, including the integration of technology to support learning purposes.
• Communicate the importance of teaching and learning to both internal and external audiences.
