The Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching focuses on enhancing learning and teaching at all levels of the University and is dedicated to three core activities: faculty development; graduate student and postdoctoral scholar development; and assessment, evaluation, and education research. Through its wide range of programs, services, and research, the Center seeks to assist all members of the Northwestern community in developing highly effective learning environments and experiences for their students, their colleagues, and themselves. Since its founding, the Center has substantially grown in breadth and reach, and its staff make meaningful contributions nationally and internationally to the literature on learning and teaching.
