Welcome to the CTE website!

We hope that you will find many useful resources both on this website and in the center. We are located on the second floor of the Johnson Center (Room 241) and invite you to stop by anytime. The Center offers a range of support and learning opportunities for instructors across Mason's campuses. For example, as we move into the middle of our fall semester, you may find it useful to refer to our resources on mid-semester feedback from your students.

This site is designed to provide information specific to teaching at Mason as well as numerous resources created to sustain and enhance your teaching and learning practices, whether you are just getting started or have years of experience.We invite you to explore all of the resources here in order to learn about available programs and support. If you don't find what you are looking for, please contact us. We look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,
The Center for Teaching Excellence Team
