Cooperative for Teaching & Learning (CTL)
The Cooperative for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is an organization of CNM faculty that fosters internal partnerships across the college to support faculty needs through orientation and professional development. It also supports and enhances faculty collegiality across schools and departments. The faculty-led CTL Coordinating Committee is responsible for the CTL. More info about CTL leadership.
Through reflective practice, faculty determine their own learning needs and areas of improvement, and the CTL provides support and resources for faculty to achieve their classroom teaching goals. The CTL employs a variety of strategies to meet the professional support and development needs of CNM’s faculty.
Faculty Development Initiatives
The CTL coordinates a New Faculty Support program to provide needed resources to newly-hired CNM faculty.
The CTL continually creates a faculty-driven faculty development program designed to help faculty self-reflect, self-determine, and self-direct their individual and peer group professional development needs related to teaching and learning. Initiatives include Reflective Practice, Peer Coaching, and Faculty Learning Circles.
