We provide research-based support to enhance teaching and learning on the Shawnee State University campus.
To support the university’s mission to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s world, the TLC strives to prepare faculty and staff to understand how the world of higher education is changing and what our role is as educators who exemplify the profession by being lifelong learners. In order for faculty to carry out this mission, they must cultivate the skills of today’s master teachers.
The SSU TLC exists to
