Established in 2001, the Center for Teaching Excellence supports and nurtures effective teaching and learning at New York University. The Center promotes an ongoing, university-wide discussion about teaching and learning matters, striving both to facilitate and contribute to that conversation, and provides practical resources to members of the NYU community to enhance their effectiveness in the classroom and laboratory. We seek primarily to treat teaching as serious intellectual work that is integrally related to, and supportive of, the research conducted by faculty, and to think of college courses as windows on, and expressions of, the way faculty define and practice their disciplines and inter- disciplines.

The Center offers a range of services and programs to the scholarly community at NYU. The expanding menu to the left will help you explore our current offerings. Or, click here to join our mailing list and be notified when new programs are announced.

This Month at The Center

Did you miss one of our Spring 2008 programs? DVDs of most CTE programs are available through the Jerome Bruner Library on Advancing University Learning, which is open by appointment to NYU faculty and graduate students. Email center.for.teaching@nyu.edu to set up a time to browse the collection in person, or check out our RefWorks catalogue online.
