Welcome to the Center for Teaching Effectiveness

Our Mission Statement: The Center for Teaching Effectiveness has committed itself to a comprehensive professional development program that makes teaching and learning the focal point of college activities and decision making.

Visit our CTE Blog!!

Arizona Western College established the Center for Teaching Effectiveness in October 1990 with Title III Grant funds. The CTE was established on the belief that individuals, departments, and institutions have unlimited capacity for growth and development. Based on these beliefs the faculty, staff and administration have made a commitment to assure the resources necessary to provide a comprehensive program that will meet the constantly changing needs faculty face in a multicultural society.

The CTE strives to support the personal development of all college faculty by promoting an environment of mutual trust and respect, growth, and teamwork.  This requires the commitment of the entire college community and the District Governing Board.
