Mission Statement

The mission of the William H. Koehler Center for Teaching Excellence is to support teaching and learning at Texas Christian University.  The resources and activities of the Koehler Center are focused both on honoring the present needs of instruction and informing the TCU community of the increasing possibilities brought by changing pedagogical theory, innovative practice, and new technologies.  The staff of the Koehler Center is dedicated to working with individuals, departments, and programs to design and implement meaningful learning opportunities and to facilitate ongoing, reflective participation in the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Professional Portfolio Workshop, May 12-16 Peter Seldin and Associates will return to TCU in May to conduct another professional portfolio workshop and to train several TCU faculty mentors in the process of facilitating portfolio creation among other TCU instructors.  Participants from last spring’s workshop can attest to the value of the training and the quality and usefulness of the professional portfolio produced as a result.
