The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) advances the integration of evidence-based, innovative teaching and learning practices that promote effective learning and belonging. Housed under the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE) and affiliated with the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education (VPGE), CTL works to ensure that all Stanford educators and students—including faculty, lecturers, teaching assistants, undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs—have the tools and resources to succeed in teaching and learning, within a vibrant academic culture.
CTL provides a comprehensive suite of academic support programs designed to help undergraduate and graduate students thrive at Stanford. These student-centered services include:
Academic Coaching and Skills: Individual consultations, learning consultant partnerships, and workshops to help students develop effective study strategies, time management, and academic skills.
Peer Tutoring and Language Support: Subject-specific tutoring and language conversation practice led by trained peers.
Specialized Academic Support: Targeted resources and strategies to support neurodiverse students.
To advance teaching excellence, CTL partners with anyone teaching in Stanford’s undergraduate and graduate programs. Key resources for educators include:
Pedagogical Consultations: Individualized feedback on teaching, classroom observations, and curriculum design.
Professional Development: Course and curriculum design institutes, teaching with technology support, and specialized teaching workshops.
Grants and TA Support: Administration of teaching grants, TA orientations, and the Graduate Teaching Consultant program.
