Resume Cover letter References (minimum of three) Purpose of Position The University of Texas at Arlington seeks an innovative, collaborative, and faculty-centered leader to serve as Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). The Director provides strategic leadership for UTA's institution-wide efforts to advance excellence in teaching and learning across face-to-face, hybrid, online, and emerging instructional modalities. The CTL serves as the University's primary faculty-facing resource for the practice of teaching, including course and curriculum design, assessment of student learning, teaching consultation, instructional innovation, inclusive and accessible teaching, effective use of learning technologies, faculty learning communities, teaching credentials, and strategic course transformation. The Center provides faculty with a clear and accessible point of entry for teaching support while partnering closely with Faculty Success, colleges and academic departments, the Center for Distance Education, the Office of Information Technology, Student Success, University Analytics, UTA Libraries, and other University units. Essential Functions Leads a comprehensive university-wide faculty-development strategy encompassing individual consultations, teaching observations and feedback, faculty learning communities, cohort-based programs, certificates and credentials, Faculty Fellows, workshops, asynchronous resources, and department- and program-level initiatives. Advances evidence-based approaches to course design, assessment of student learning, accessible and effective teaching practices, active learning, online and hybrid pedagogy, adult learning, artificial intelligence, learning analytics, and emerging instructional technologies. Provides vision, leadership, and strategic direction for the Center for Teaching and Learning; develops and continuously refines a coherent portfolio of programs and services aligned with UTA 2030, college priorities, and emerging needs in teaching and learning. Establishes the CTL as the University's clear and trusted faculty-facing resource for teaching practice and leads the transition to a modern, visible, responsive, and strategically aligned Center for Teaching and Learning. Develops strategic partnerships with colleges, departments, academic programs, and University units to support course and curriculum transformation, with particular attention to high-enrollment, gateway, high-DFW, and other strategically important courses and programs. Collaborates with the Center for Distance Education and other partners to connect faculty development with course review, redesign, implementation, assessment, and continuous improvement. Builds strong relationships with faculty across disciplines, appointment types, ranks, and instructional modalities. Develops and implements communication, outreach, and engagement strategies that increase awareness and use of CTL programs and position the Center as an accessible point of entry for teaching support. Maintains clear service boundaries with Faculty Success and other partner units and ensures CTL consultation and developmental support remain confidential, formative, and distinct from formal personnel evaluation. Develops and oversees a comprehensive assessment framework for CTL programs and services that evaluates faculty reach, service quality, changes in teaching practice, course-design quality, strategic course transformation, and, where evidence permits, contributions to student and institutional outcomes. Produces an annual CTL impact report and dashboard and uses evidence to guide continuous improvement and resource decisions. Recruits, supervises, develops, and evaluates CTL staff; builds a collaborative and service-oriented team; develops and administers the Center's budget; and strategically deploys professional staff, Faculty Fellows, stipends, mini-grants, professional-development funds, and other resources. Establishes and works collaboratively with a CTL Advisory Council to identify priorities, strengthen communication, and review evidence of impact.
