Welcome to the Center for Teaching & Learning at Pratt Institute

The CTL's Guiding Values are Community, Reflection, & Action

The Center for Teaching and Learning fosters a collaborative faculty community that builds on best pedagogical practices across all disciplines and teaching modalities at Pratt: classroom and studio pedagogy, online and hybrid formats, experiential hands-on learning, and more. The Center aims to create an interdisciplinary, resilient, and reflective learning environment to address the urgency of the ‘now’, ranging from discussing difficult issues in a diverse classroom to larger social and cultural complexities of our times. 

Mission and Community Standards: In order to foster faculty collaborations built on a shared understanding of respect, we have established a set of community standards that we expect all CTL members and participants to follow.

What we offer in all CTL programming are tools and perspectives with which to approach your practice. Contexts, individual and collective, are always to be considered when employing any framework. We hope you’ll take a reflective approach to your teaching, using the resources and practices suggested here when they seem fit.
