Mission & Goals

The Center for Research on Teaching Excellence (CRTE) advocates a union of scholarship and instruction, grounded in the academic principles of research and focused on supporting the success of a diverse student population in a research university context. To enable students to excel academically, we support a campus-wide culture that values, fosters, and rewards continuous improvement in teaching and learning.

The CRTE establishes a firm foundation in support of teaching and learning through the following goals to:

• Foster an enduring commitment to an evidence-based approach to improving student learning at course, program and institutional levels
• Facilitate teaching and learning-focused professional development that supports diverse pedagogical approaches and instructional experience
• Support all instructors in engaging UC Merced's diverse student population in a research university education
