The Center for Teaching (CFT) is a program within the Connecticut Community College System that is meant to promote teaching excellence through the sharing of ideas, the interaction of faculty members on each campus, and the creation of coordinated professional development opportunities within and between colleges.
The system-wide Center For Teaching supports and develops all-college activities such as the annual Barnes Seminar, the Spirit of Teaching Workshop, the New Faculty Workshop, and the Schwab Institute for Academic Leadership. Annually, each college in turn receives a budget to support and stimulate Center For Teaching activities on its campus.
At the System level, the CFT Steering Committee includes three Presidents, three Academic Deans, and twelve college representatives. This committee identifies and responds to the needs of faculty and the community colleges system-wide. With the support of this committee, the CFT offers annual conferences, coordinated local programs addressing common themes, and intensive teaching workshops.
