For CEU Faculty

The Elkana Center continues the work of the Center for Teaching and Learning in supporting faculty in their teaching on a voluntary, non-evaluative, and confidential basis. We offer faculty-specific courses and teaching certificates, as well as workshops, guest lectures, events, individual consultations, grants, and online resources.

Learn more below or contact us directly (elkanacenter@ceu.edu).

TA-ships are a vital stage in doctoral students’ development as early-career teachers and enhance the learning of students in the course. Elkana Center colleagues support both TAs and faculty working with them to benefit the most from this experience.
