Our Mission
The Center for Teaching and Learning facilitates Amherst College’s ambition to provide a rigorous liberal arts education in a vibrant, inclusive learning community. The Center collaborates with faculty, instructional staff and other campus partners, drawing on evidence-based practices, to embrace the challenges of teaching and learning in a complex, globalized and digitized world.
We support course and curriculum design and assessment through individual and departmental consultations, teaching observation and feedback, mid-term and end-of-course evaluation planning and interpretation, and many other pedagogical questions and concerns.
