The Director of Teaching Excellence provides vision and direction for TILT faculty-development programs and initiatives that advance student-centered, inclusive, accessible, and effective teaching strategies in support of student learning and success.
The director is a member of the TILT leadership team and oversees a team of full-time professionals that includes instructional designers, faculty developers and technologists. The director oversees and leads a portfolio of existing educational-development programs and several campuswide teaching events, including new faculty orientation and an annual summer teaching conference. Further, the director will guide the team in developing and launching new programs, streamlining or expanding some existing programs, and in scaling back others to reflect campus needs. This work will include building partnerships in TILT and across campus, regularly assessing programs’ impact, using assessment findings for program improvement, and deepening the positive impact of the team’s programs on CSU students, faculty, and others. This director will work collaboratively in support of faculty, departments, and colleges as well as with programs and staff in co-curricular locations.
The director will lead the II&E team in collaborating closely with other TILT units and stakeholders across campus. The director will, in collaboration with TILT’s Executive Director and Associate Directors, determine how to mobilize the team’s expertise to best serve both ongoing and emerging priorities.
