About CERTI
CERTI is Missouri University of Science and Technology's faculty development center for teaching and learning, and is under the leadership of the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence (CAFE) and the Office of the Provost.
CERTI provides a variety of faculty resources for teaching and learning such as professional development events, educational research assistance, observation and feedback of classroom teaching, and serves as a clearinghouse for other teaching information and resources on campus.
The CERTI mission is to foster faculty contribution to the continual improvement of the Missouri S&T learning environment through programs that emphasize collaborative, experiential, and technology-enhanced teaching as well as educational research.
The quality of the learning environment is dependent on the quality of course design and teacher student interactions
The integration of collaborative, experiential, and technology-enchanced teaching methods, coupled with effective assessment techniques, are powerful tools in the quest for improvement of student learning
Faculty ownership and contribution are key elements in facilitating an institutional adoption of educational best practices
The CERTI office is located in Norwood Hall room 207 on the Missouri S&T campus
