  For students: CETL is a high impact educational practice that

  • deepens student learning
  • increases the level of academic challenge
  • facilitates active and collaborative learning
  • increases student retention
  This pedagogy is “beneficial for college students from many backgrounds, especially historically underserved students, who often do not have equitable access to high-impact learning.” (Kuh & O’Donnell, 2013)

  For faculty: CETL contributes to professional vitality

  • Teaching: improves the quality of faculty/student interaction and provides a meaningful context for faculty teaching and student learning (Kuh & O’Donnell, 2013)
  • Research:
    • sparks new ideas leading to new questions and research ideas (Terosky, 2018; Williams & Sparks, 2011)
    • creates additional publishing opportunities in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and policy publications (Schindler, 2014, Williams & Sparks, 2011)
    • is medium for addressing broader impacts for grant applications (Power, 2019)

  For community: CETL can allow community partners to:

  • Educate and train students on topics that they are addressing in their work
  • Utilize student work to address community identified priorities
  • Use collaboration outcomes for fundraising and development purposes
