The WVU Teaching and Learning Center was established in 2024 to serve those who teach across all career stages, from graduate teaching assistants to late-career faculty members. Services include workshops, signature programs, support in the peer review of teaching, and one-on-one consultations.
The Teaching and Learning Center aims to have broad reach, with representation and support across WVU campuses in Morgantown and on the campuses of WVU Tech and WVU Potomac State College. Those who teach full time, part time, or on a contract basis are welcome to access the Center’s services and resources.
The Center is supported in part by a grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation. Funds are managed by the WVU Foundation. Chartered in 1954, the WVU Foundation is the nonprofit organization that receives and administers private donations on behalf of the University.
2024-2025 Annual ReportMessage from the Center's Director
It has been an exciting first year in the WVU Teaching and Learning Center. Since opening in the fall of 2024, the Center has made remarkable strides in advancing a culture of evidence-based teaching. In just one year, the Center has grown in both reach and impact by establishing two new locations and launching initiatives that reflect our commitment to scholarly teaching.
Guided by the thoughtful input of our Advisory Group, we laid the groundwork for the Engaged Teaching Scholars program. Faculty members from WVU Potomac State College, WVU Institute of Technology, and West Virginia University were selected to represent their campuses and conduct a scholarly teaching project.
During the Spring 2025 semester, we launched our first signature program on the campus of WVU Institute of Technology: Development-Focused Peer Review of Teaching. This program fosters a supportive, reflective approach to teaching and has already begun to shape meaningful conversations on teaching and learning.
Looking ahead to the next academic year, we are preparing to introduce our second signature program, the Course re/Design Studio, with an initial offering on the Morgantown campus. This initiative will provide faculty with the tools, time, and collaborative space to reimagine their courses using evidence-based teaching practices.
Building on the momentum of our first year, we are excited to continue making an impact on teaching across West Virginia University. I invite you to visit our website and explore our upcoming program offerings.
