Mission of the ATL - Focus on Learning

The mission of the Academy for Teaching and Learning, North Carolina A&T’s teaching and learning center, is to promote continuing faculty development and enhanced student learning through the development of scholarly teaching; the scholarship of teaching, learning, and engagement; and formative assessment of teaching practices, curricular design, and student learning.

This mission is implemented through activities that are informed and guided by research on teaching and learning, national teaching and learning-related initiatives, university-level strategic goals and objectives, and UNC-system priorities (see, for example, UNC Tomorrow).
