We partner with Duke faculty to support new approaches to student-centered teaching and active learning. We will work with you on pedagogies, technologies and other practices that increase learning—whether you teach in a classroom, lab, field site or online.

Faculty Support & Consulting

We work one-on-one with you to design courses and learning experiences for in-person, hybrid and online teaching.

We can help you try new ideas, address teaching and learning challenges and create approaches that improve your experience as an instructor and enhance student learning.

Our consultants have advanced knowledge of pedagogy and technology, significant experience in college teaching, and subject area expertise in multiple disciplines.

CPC participants in small group work

Offered in collaboration with Bass Connections, the CPC Fellowship provides support and a peer learning community for faculty who are interested in designing courses in which student learning is driven by collaborative engagement with applied projects that extend across an entire semester.


Peer Course Evaluation

Advancing teaching excellence through peer observation, evaluation, and professional growth.

A woman speaks to a group.

Duke faculty share the goal of providing a high-quality education, and yet Duke recognizes that teaching is a skill in which everyone can continue to improve. To supplement student course evaluations, the CTL supports the Duke Provost’s Office in offering faculty the opportunity to have a “Peer Course Evaluation,” including observations of their classroom approaches and evaluation of their syllabus. Such peer evaluations can supplement student evaluations and statements about their teaching approaches and accomplishments for internal evaluations, promotions, and recognitions.
