Fostering Informed Committed Action in Teaching

The center's work is guided by the concept of praxis, emphasizing informed committed action. It involves staying research and evidence-based (informed), defining ethical frameworks (committed), and focusing on how the work is done (action). The center currently emphasizes creativity, inclusive communities, and kindness, promoting student-centered approaches through a teaching-centered lens. The focus is on building authentic relationships with teaching, rather than performative teaching, through programs like the creativity fellows initiative.
