Center for Teaching Excellence

SMU’s Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE) is an ongoing catalyst for the growth of a university culture that values, supports, and rewards effective student-centered teaching.

 

 

The CTE is available to assist you with your face-to-face and online course design needs. Additionally, we can assist you with consultations about technology implementation (for student engagement and subject matter showcase), assessment strategies, and research-based strategies to improve learning. 

Schedule your course design consultation now or contact CTE's Instructional Designers - Addy Tolliver, Ed.D.or Doug Wilson, Ph.D. for more information.
